At PT 2 days ago she had me walk around the room,with a 5lb weight for 10 mins. Also did it at home a few more times at home. Just wondering if walking with a 2 lb weight in both hands while on treadmill will help that or make it worse? the do my 10 walks with a 5 pd later. I have not done much since getting this diagnosis. I am so depressed but want to do more to hopefully help build my muscles. PT was closed today due to weather.
