Exercise pain

Hi ! I don't do yoga. If I have to kneel down for anything I can't get back up unaided. This hinders me in things like looking underneath something if it is low to the floor. Also today because the weather was nice and I felt good; went for a visit to a garden centre. . . now I'm paying the price for that visit. To me it was getting exercise think my body thought otherwise! 🙁

Hi ,


I haven't got a whole lot of experience with yoga, but when I do it I try to follow arthritis friendly routines to try and avoid causing myself any damage.


I know there are a few channels on YouTube with routines like this but here is a link to one that I use.

Hey, that Rocks. It sounds remarkable!!!

I just recently re-started doing yoga after my left hip replacement in July. I never had any issues like you speak about until about 2 wks ago when I tried just some gentle yoga. I was in so much pain, I stopped.
I'm still going to P.T & so asked her what she thought. I showed her a few of the movements I do and she said, " That's because now w/ u having AS. u have to remember that all joints, which most connect to the back/spine in some way, are going to feel some pain." She told me to stop what I was doing & instead showed me some VERY easy, gently exercises that really don't seem to do much.


But as she explained, these movements will work out the big muscles & joints we need to use to move. I can't show them to you but I would suggest, if you can, to talk about seeing a physical therapist that knows your issues & show u moves that won't cause u pain. Good luck and I hope I helped, even just a little!
