The site has been crazy busy lately, so don't give up hope if you haven't heard from a lot of people in your group yet, they are on here I promise you!

IT is crazy
I say also...it wont stop me
Then the next day one can barely walk... I grasp for physical support as I walk down the hallway.
I now think the whole it wont stop me idea was partly denial...not sure But dont let me discourage you.
I try to walk the treadmill because it helps the pain and energy levels in the long run but it is HARD. I shoot for 5 miles in the morning usually only finishing 2 to 3 miles....But now I have not been to the gym in 3 weeks so I feel I can no longer preach exercise../

i am new and was beginning to think there were no arthritis posts then I came across thiss and was glad to see I am in the right place. dDI envy anyone who can do the treadmill at all. I have arthritis slmost everywhere except two places which I won't jinx myself by saying where they are. LOL Somedays the gout in my feet hurts so badly that I can't hardly stand to bear weight or walk. Have you found anything besides medication that helps the pain at all? I wonder if a hot tub would help or hinder? Good luck and I hope things will improve for you. Any kind of back pain is not good. Do you have a really good mattress. I think a good nights sleep might be very beneficial. I have A REAlly good mattress and it has helped my back tremendously
