Can PMR be induced by Exercise

I do find weightlifting makes my symptoms much worse. Swimming, yoga, dancing and walking seem to help. Like others have said, moderation is the key which is very difficult for many of us who have been very active our entire life.

@sunshine4u I had a similar experience with light weights perhaps making my symptoms worse. I do yoga, pilates, dance, and swimming with no adverse effects, but when I went from 4# to 5# weights, I seemed to experience some additional pain at night not associated with lactic acid pain.
