[hopeful]

Hi Everyone,
I started walking about 2 weeks ago. That is a big thing for me since I was such and avid exerciser before I got sick. Suring the last few years I have tried to start again but always ended up in too much pain.

I mentioned in one of the other posts that I started taking 5 mg of Percocet about a half hour before my walk. It stays with me for a little while later. But when if wears off I can feel the pain.

I'm wondering if what I'm feeling is what most people call the burn after exercising. I was always familiar with that.

Or is the pain trying to tell me that I shouldn't be doing this. The problem is I am losing muscle and muscle strength. I feel like if I don't start doing something it is going to continue to go down hill for me.

Will I eventually get over this? Is it just because I am not use to exercising anymore? Has anyone else had this problem?

Please let me know what you think. I don't want to do more damage but I also don't want to end up with no muscle strength.
