I am VERY limited to my arms too. Lifting my arms up too much without weights bothers them alot, and i get a massive headache and feel like I am going to pass out. Even walking at night just having my arms hang down is really painful which is why I am reluctant to do it because I know a flare is coming....I am going to take on walking around the neighborhood on again more often... I have gotten lazy lately because by the time my day is done the LAST thing i want to even think about is to get up and exercise on my painful feet.
I just am wanting input on what works for you guys... it helps get me motivated that it will help me... |
I have given up most exercises I did prior to my shoulder surgery and subsequent CRPS. I still go to the gym and do selected exercises but that tends to cause a flare up. All through the entire CRPS experience walking always seemed to provide temporary relief and distract me from the pain. I do look forward to my walks!
