Hey everyone!

How's it going? 😊

Walking is a great low-impact activity that can help improve circulation, reduce stress, and maintain mobility. Let's encourage each other by sharing our daily walking routines!

I have always walked, but since the diagnosis of knee arthritis, i have been anxious about it. Have to say my knee gets sore when i walk and i get pain after, i stopped for a while but realised that I have to move, so i have started again.

I walk about 3 to 5 miles a day, not a fantastic pace but at least I am moving.

Hi @fernster,

I really admire your determination to keep walking despite your knee arthritis! It’s great that you’ve found a balance that works for you. Even though your pace might not be fast, moving is what counts, and every step is progress! 😊 You might want to talk with your doctor or physiotherapist about managing the pain after walking. Sometimes, adjusting your walking surface or doing strengthening exercises can help with knee support.

How do you usually feel after your walks? Have you noticed any improvements in how your knee feels?

Take care,

@Somya.P Absolutely! I try to walk at least 30 minutes a day, when I can, I've also notice improvement in my energy levels and mood since I started. I enjoy walking outdoors when the weather is nice; its a great way to connect nature. However I also use the treadmill when I can't go outside.

Hi @limsonbros,

That’s fantastic to hear! It’s a wonderful way to stay active with an extra layer of relaxation and mindfulness. It’s also smart to have the treadmill as a backup. Have you noticed any other benefits, like improved sleep or better focus, since you started walking regularly?

Take care,

@gmorlet Hello there! You’re absolutely right, making physical activity enjoyable can be such a game-changer! When it feels like something we genuinely look forward to, it’s so much easier to stay consistent over time. Do you have any favourite activities or ways to keep things fun?

Because it is highly unlikely there will ever be a request regarding annual walking; and, after bouts of bullous pemphigoid, covid, pneumonia and two major storms, I managed to continue a yearly ritual, prompted by the state of Texas.

One fact even Texans don't know about Texas. You are not Texan just by being born here. We are Texans because we behave like Texans. My illustration of that independent resolve is to walk from, and back, to having my wife's ex-Personal Transportation Cruiser inspected.

The most recurring situation, from a congenital birth defect, is explaining; while I have absolutely no problem with being referred to as crippled, I will never, voluntarily, place myself in a position to be viewed as "a cripple".

My insistence, to avoid this, has even compelled me to sever personal relationships. Maintaing self-respect has boundaries; and, in the Lone Star State, they are well defined.

Hi @LifeDelineator,

That's a powerful reflection on independence and resilience! Walking truly represents more than just physical movement—it can also be about asserting control over our lives. How have these walks impacted your mindset, especially after all you've been through with your health?

@Somya.P - Social media is rife with examples of those who are slighted by acts of bad intention; but, because insults usually come from strangers, there is no discussion of the one thing worse than mockery....disappointment.

Because social ostracization has become a fact of life; leers, taunts and social recoil are more an expectation than a surprise; however, disappointment is even worse, because you expected something better from that, trusted, individual. That is why strangers can be tolerated, but betrayal, even to the smallest degree, can not.

I am certain there are many who would not agree with my remedy; but, an objective application is a necessity, not a choice

Hi @LifeDelineator,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You make a very insightful point about how disappointment from those we trust can be even harder to deal with than from those we do not know. It’s true that because of the expectations and emotional investment we have in those relationships, what feels like betrayal, even on a small scale, can leave a lasting impact.

It sounds like maintaining boundaries and self-respect has been important for you, even when faced with difficult situations. How do you get through those feelings when disappointment occurs?

Sadly I can't walk in ice and snow because I have Osteoporosis, and balance prob

lems. I spent the dayin the urgent care centre at Tameside hospital. In October I had my worse fall. W were staying in a holiday cottage, in Amble. Unfortunately the bedrooms were upstairs and the toilet was downstairs. At 1,15 am I needed the toilet and fell down some stairs. I dislocated my shoulder, broke the top of my arm and broke my collar bone.9 days later I needed major surgery. Iam still having a lot of pain. The doctor I saw was kind and caring. She told me to stop taking Amytrptelene immeditely because it ! was stopping me from sleeping and making me hyperactive. What a big relief. She's arranging for me through my GP to go to pain clinic, falls clinic and orthopaedic clinic. The NH S at its best

@annafielding Thank you so much for sharing your story—it sounds like you’ve been through such a challenging time recently. I'm so sorry to hear about your fall and the pain you've been enduring since. It must have been a relief to finally have a doctor who listened and took action to help manage your symptoms.

How are you finding things now that you’ve stopped taking Amytriptyline? Are you feeling any improvement with your sleep or energy levels?

The referrals to the pain clinic, falls clinic, and orthopaedic clinic sound like positive steps forward. Have you been able to start any of those yet, or are you still waiting for appointments?

It’s inspiring to see your resilience despite everything you’ve been through. I hope the community here can offer you support as you continue on this journey. Please don’t hesitate to share more if you feel up to it—we’re all here to listen. 😊

I used to walk a lot. My late friend and I were always out and about exploring whats on our doorstep. Sadly now due to my health and her passing, I am not able to go out and about walking for a couple of reasons, 1 because I now don't have a friend to go with (well, that's not really a reason I have been on my own before but it's more fun with company) and 2 I never know when I'm going to have a pain spike or a fatigue hit, so I could venture out and have to turn back, then struggle to get back. So to eleviate that problem I brought a second hand treadmill (did t realise how expensive they can be brand new) it ables me to walk as much or as little as I wish and rest immediately if I need to. It is a bit of an eye sore sat in the lounge but I live alone so it's OK.

@Dizzle Hi,

Thank you for sharing your story—it’s touching to hear about the walks you used to enjoy with your late friend, and I’m sorry for your loss. It’s so true that exploring with someone can make the experience even more special. 💕

It’s great that you found a creative solution with the treadmill—it sounds like a practical way to stay active on your own terms while managing your health. Do you find it helps with your energy levels or mood? And have you ever thought about joining a virtual walking group or finding new ways to stay connected while walking, even if it’s from home?

Your determination to adapt to your situation is truly inspiring. 😊

I’d love to be able to walk but I am only able to mobilise in the house using elbow crutches due to the legacy of polio as a child and now Post Polio Syndrome. Without my elbow crutches I cannot even stand up!
