Restricted mobility? Disabled? How do you exercise?

Hello Eucalyptus and welcome to myLot. I can sympathize with you as I have something similar. I have rheumatoid arthritis and the padding on the balls of my feet has slid up under my toes. As time goes by a very small callous builds up on the ball of my feet and feels like I'm walking on a very small sharp stone. It can become very painful to walk on. I use callous removers to get rid of these callouses bur oh the pain until I can pull off the callous. Back in January I feel and fractured my tail bone. I was put in a live-in Rehab home for at least 6 weeks. For exercise They had me doing a stationary bicycle and a u-step which was like skiing setting down. They also had me doing arm exercise on one of the bicycle type pieces of equipment setting on the table. I was also encouraged to do a number of exercises laying on my bed. I was given a walker so I could walk the halls. Exercise is very necessary for both the bladder and the bowl to work. When I got home I had an in home physical therapist come and work with me on which exercises I could do safely. In the bed exercises I am to flex my feet up toward my legs and circles with my ankles. I am to slid my feet up to my butt and down to the end of the bed. Then slid one foot up to my butt and lift the other leg. Another one is tow swing my legs out to the side and back. She also had some exercises for me while standing at my kitchen sink for support. Rise up on the toes then rock back on the heels raising the toes in the air.Then there is marching in place. Another one is you hold on to something for support and bend slowly at the knees while keeping the back straight and the feet flat on the floor. You also swing the legs back and forth from front to back and from side to side. I don't know if these are strenuous for you but they are keeping me going.

I can feature you having one of those peddle systems that you can sit in your chair and pedal like a bicycle. They can even be adjusted to use your hands. I like water exercise or water walking. It takes the pressure off your body and joints and allows you to move freely. Usually the pool is warm and it soothes the soreness of the whole body. I know if you had open sores you could not do this, but when you are healed, the exercise really makes me feel good.

Hey there yes I have a bad back so I to am limited in what walking and all I can do at the moment I am at swimming physio for this for the next 6 weeks to see if this will untighten my back as my physio thinks my back is to tight
