Hi @karm!nR
I like that you started with something manageable, like walking, and now you are ready to experiment with something else. I like to swim. You can move slowly, low impact. But I'm not sure how it will help with elbow pain.

Hi @karm!nR
How are you doing today?
Thank you for sharing your fitness journey here and looking for inspiration.
Let me see if anyone in the Chronic Pain forum has any suggestion for upper body workouts for someone living with nerve pain. I would also suggest that you go to a physical therapist or personal trainer. They may be the most qualified to tailor a workout to your needs.

Do you workout? What do you do? Has it helped with your pain? Do you have a trainer?
Let's share !
Take care,

I have Fibromylgia, Lupus, and other autoimmune diseases & co-exiting illnesses/conditions for 26 yrs now. I'm currently in severe pain from my lower back shooting pain into my buttock, upper legs, legs are weak & in pain. I get up very slowly, & am hunched over, then I creep upward to a standing position. Idk what I can do. I tried to send my Primary care Doctor a text/email & it rejected. ?? I can't function. Ugh!

I've had chronic back pain for a few years now. It was really tough to get motivated to exercise, but I knew I needed to find a way to manage the pain. Starting with gentle yoga and stretching exercises made a huge difference for me. These exercises helped increase my flexibility and reduce the tension in my back, which in turn, alleviated some of the pain.
Besides exercise, I found massage therapy to be the best back pain treatment for my situation. It helped release the deep-seated tension and improve my overall wellbeing, allowing me to be more active. Incorporating specific exercises that target the back, like gentle stretches and yoga poses, really helped in managing my pain and improving my quality of life.

Ambassador@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

Hey there,
I have RA and nerve pain in my elbows and arms. It was a struggle to get over the mental hump of starting to exercise while constantly living in pain. But once I started going on daily walks, I noticed the pain in my knees and ankles got better. Now I'm interested in learning new exercises for my upper body (where it hurts the most). I'm assuming it will help the same way as it did for my lower body. Has anyone found exercises to help with elbows and arms that suffer from nerve damage?
Thank you
