I have very long standing CFS and fibromyalgia and some weird neuro symptoms (that go away in sunny, windless weather
). I swim a lot in the local outdoor 50m lido as it's pain free - until I get cramp!
My bone density wasn't great a few years ago when they did a scan. My mum died from complications of osteoporosis fractures.
I can't run - my ankles "lock" and it hurts too much to jog even slowly. I have really sore feet (even with orthotics) so can't walk far. I get dizzy if I walk for more than 30 mins.
I used to play tennis, but that's now too painful. I cycle around locally for transport, which is also not painful but doesn't help bones.
What would be the best weight bearing exercise please? I'm wondering if I should join the wretched gym for their resistance machines, but I hate gyms. Thanks for any ideas. x
