I feel like someone took a grater to my thigh muscles and the left side of my neck is really aching. I have done that little bit before and didn't feel this sore, but this is the first time since I have had RSD. Is this a normal reaction to exercise??!!?!? I can't believe how sore I am after so little exercise; MAN I feel old and I'm still in my 40's. I know, I know,.....I'm getting there.....a little too fast for my taste, though!! Ha! Anywho, any ideas on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Have a great one to all of you and God bless. I pray you all have a wonderful and painless day! =)
Sore is OK, it just means you need more exercise and to build up more gradually. I doubt that it's good if you get a flare though but doctors seem to not agree on this. I'm sure I don't want a flare and excessive exercise will cause one for me.

Do as much as you feel safe doing and build up more gradually. My soreness will go away a little faster if I exercise the sore muscles very lightly.

Default Thanks for the input, Everyone!

Greetings! I have RSD in my Rt arm and hand and was told that it had not moved to my legs, but that I have degenerative disc disease. I used to walk, do aerobics, step aerobics, etc before RSd. I didn't do that much and it felt like I had taken a grater to my thigh muscles. I went again hoping to stretch, but I still had trouble walking . I sat for several hours after I got home with hot packs on my thighs......it actually helped!! I couldn't believe it.....relieved, though. I do need to slow down and i don't really have a good doctor to talk to that knows enough about this condition. Grateful it isn't worse than it is. Thanks again to all and Merry Christmas! =)
