Re: Leg muscles aching
Like my Doctor of Physical Therapy said . . . you never get better by resting.
You need to start with small amounts of exercise that you can tolerate.
If you can find a physical therapist in your area that specializes in rehabilitation for cancer patients, and get an evaluation that would be the best course of action.
I didn't believe him in the beginning when he was describing the benefits, blah, blah, blah.
You will be shocked the difference that the correct level of exercise makes for you. Dr. Joe took me from a frail, shaky, weak person to a powerhouse in 8 months. Insurance covered the prescriptive exercise program except for co-pay.
I feel like Dr. Joe helped me get my life back after cancer treatment. I wish I had known about the program earlier.
Here is a link to my Doctors' website:
