I failed physical therapy. I was doing pool therapy. I felt more and more pain. The therapist told me when I come out of the flare come back. I told her I've been in it for two years I don't think its going away. She gave me stretches to do at home. They are low impact. I told her I walked a mile everyday. She told me to cut back to a quarter of a mile for a month and then if I felt ok to increase slowly for another month. But even when I am on the computer I do stretches. Because if I don't I lock up. I went to the movies tonight, I got to involved with the movie. I forgot to stretch. It took me twenty minutes to be able to walk.
I also lay prone twenty minutes twice a day. It takes another ten minutes to be able to get up. But I always move. Yes to moving. The more you move the stronger you get. The less fusing. But like others have said. If it hurts STOP. Don't over do. If you need a day off, take it.
