L.Thomas,Kaputa
I went through the same operations,both within eight months of the other. I am doing very well. I all so have Lupus, Fibromyalgia,Thorasc outlet syndrome, Osteoarthritis. I started out doing Isometric for each area and 30 min walk. Just doing somthing for my problems helps get me through the day. You have to ask your self every day what, have I done to help myself to day. Even if I have pain I know, I have done something to improve my condition. If ou are over weigh loose the pounds slowly. Eat a healthy diet, lot of fruit and veggies. I still hav days that I can hardly move, But I can at least do something for myself to improve my balance, range of motion and strength. It has been a long rode to recovery but I am doing better than other people my own ageof 43. Log you activies, this helps in knowing that at least I tried. I my still ache but i have done something to improve my conditions. And yes I am my docters favorite. I take my log book with me to show them how I am trying to improve my condition. I will never be the same as I was twenty some years ago, but at least I am trying.
