The more i read, the more they say not to over do it. I see some people walk 5-8 miles a day or run it. The body needs to be able to fight the MM, not try to survive a marathon. Moderate exercise is the key. I wish I could do more. I don't always have the energy. If I do too much, I will pay for it.

Joanne,
I also take Curcumin. It helps with inflammation that causes pain.

Arthropathy is a joint disease, and type of arthritis that can be caused or made worse by blood disease (cancer). So, no surprise that you have pain or an increase in pain in your bones and joints. It affects some people more than others. That, and certain medications wil make the pain worse.

I am doing the you tube MD Anderson exercises for chemo or cancer individuals.
They do two versions. Not sure if this is something you want to try, but probably good to ask your Dr. before you do. Routine lasts about 27 minutes. It has helped me regain some strength. Like you, cannot overdue.
