Apparently exercising can be good for fibromyalgia. Does any of you exercise or do any kind of sport? How often can you do it without overtiring yourself? Does it really help with the pain? Thanks!

Hello @MrKrabs

Thank you for opening this new discussion.

Indeed, according to research, moderate physical activity, which is absolutely possible to engage in if you suffer with fibromyalgia, can help reduce pain and fatigue. Among recommended activities there are swimming, walking, low-impact aerobics and cycling.

What kind of exercise do you do? How often? Do you feel it has been helping you with your symptoms? Who recommended you to start exercising?

Thank you all for your insights!

Take care,

Courtney

Hi, my aunt has fibro, and she's been told by her doctors to do some kind of physical activity, any kind, they never specified, but said whatever makes her happy and is not too hard for her. So she started nordic walking and she just loves it, plus she made some new friends :) she says it helps her pains, and makes her feel younger.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.
