Try to get into a pool therapy program, the water works wonders and relieves joint and muscle pain just by reducing the pressure points on your body...floating, doing exercises with your body in the water. It's a known fact that water therapy/excercises are very good for building back up the muscles you can't use out of water and burning calories at the same time without the pain. Some insurance companies pay for Water Therapy you'll just have to call to find out. Hope this helps!
