I started out doing a few things for balance. My body so messed up it's difficult to exercise. I have both knee replaced, I have a bad back, failed surgery, I have both shoulders reverse replacements, my right one done 4 times. I have a plate and some pins in my left wrist, and I have my right femur broken in two places in the last year. Exercise??? Not an easy thing to do when you can't stand and balance. I've tried some chair yoga, that wasn't easy either. I also have fibromyalgia my body hurts everywhere. I'm lucky I'm still moving. And of course exercise isn't my favorite thing to do. If I thought it was worth while, I would have kept it up. I get shooting pains all over like electric shocks. I have a particularly bad one where they took bone marrow out of butt. Sometimes, I'm sitting and all of a sudden I have to scream in pain, because the shocks hurt so bad. i get a lot of strange looks from people when that happens. Right now I think it's affecting my bowl and bladder. Having problems going to the bathroom. What's next? I can't wait till God says come with me.

Hi @eep, I am so sorry you are having so much pain. I have had only a few of the things you have had, but I was having muscle spasms in my back that hurt like that a few months ago. My doctor tried 5 days of muscle relaxer medication, but it didn't help. The spasms were so strong that it felt like the bed bounced under me. Ice was the only thing that did. A month later, he gave me 10 days of the same medication, and it was like a miracle. It did not cure my back problem, and I still had a backache. It was only that the muscles in my back quit trying to protect me by making every movement so painful. Good luck. I hope you can get at least a little relief. Mary

Thank You, I can use all the hugs people give me.
