Hello @riddle, Welcome to Connect. You are so right about exercises for us older folks. They are so important to keep us mobile and they only work as long as we continue to do them. I have neuropathy and balance issues and just learned a few new ones from my Mayo PT last week. Now I just have to continue to work on them daily.

Do you mind sharing what brought you to Connect? Were you trying to get some answers for questions you have?

Hello John, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and also have been waiting for months to see rheumatologist for lots of various pain in joints and bones. Since everything I love to do involves movement, I want to be able to continue staying active as long as possible and very interested in prevention. I am not finding the help I need from any of the Drs I have seen and it seems like the wait is always months to see any specialist and impossible to have a more compressive assessment. I think sometimes when a patient ‘presents’ as fit & healthy’ they don’t always get listened to. I was most interested in the Bones, Joints & Muscles support group and just getting a sense of what other people do who are coping with these issues.
