Exercise Helps??

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Edmonton, AB

I am curious... Whenever I excercise and move a bit more, my pain is extreme for days and days. I am wondering does it happen to others? Doctors keep telling me "keep exercising it will help". But I am always in pain and it feels worse after.

I am wondering is it me or are there others like me?

I feel like the doctors don't believe me. I used to bike, swim, skate, rollerblading, walking and I was doing well until I got FM.

is there somewhere you can go that has a hot tub? That makes me feel better or just soaking in a warm tub might with some Epsom salts? see if your doctor will send you to physical therapy when I went we did light exercises and always finished with a warm massage.

This happens to me after I swim. I can hardly drive home from the gym

The doctors are wrong and probably don't believe you because I've been in that same situation.... a little walking is enough because you will suffer if you do anything strenuous. I've been bed ridden for 3 to 6 days from doing to much. Trust you're body and rest rest rest.

Thanks everyone...I am glad I am not alone but it sure sucks!!! I am trying. I have lost about 35 pounds and still trying to lose weight hopefully maybe a bit more another 20-35 more lbs to go I think.... I already got referral to go to the Mazanowski heart institute Cardiac Rehab program so I can slowly get back in shape. Hopefully it will help? But I am going to fight through the darned pain. Lately anything I do hurts anyways so I'm used to the pain I just wish I didn't have to live with it. I feel kinda better since I came to this site....I am reading everyone's posts and it helps me feel not so alone. I can relate to everyone!

I hope you have a great day for a Fibro and I wish that we magically don't have to live with pain but that's just me wishful thinking

Sending everyone hugs and love!!!!
