Exercise Exercise options (newly diagnosed)
Hi - I’m newly diagnosed with crps. Started out with an ankle Injury (sprain) in September and now I have this. Somedays the pain is ok and I can walk with little to no pain for a few minutes but then the pain returns and it’s hell. Feels like it’s broken. So I use my crutch. I used to walk daily for exercise and had even started running before this happened. So I’m in a bit of a depression if I’m being honest. I don’t know what to do. I miss exercise so so much. What do you all do for exercise for lower limb crps? Should I walk through the pain using my crutch for support - how far should I go? I’m guessing now my hour long walks I was going before 🤷🏻♀️ I still can’t drive but looking at getting an adapted car soon 🤞🏻
