Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Dear , I get that too and in both knees! It seems worse if I sit with the knee bent for awhile or if I sit with my legs crossed. It pulls tight when I first get up, but I can still walk on it. I'm not sure what it is either, but my doc said its probabaly tendonitis, which he says causes the rib pain too. I also get it after alot of exercise (like cleaning the house entirely)! It's annoying but it hasn't stopped me from doing anything yet....I hope when it gets warmer and I can do more exercise I can strengthen that area. I don't have any particular joint troubles either, but I just get achy all over. Debra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I always have this in my hips and back, but now it has spread to my neck--1st time this has happened. I guess its part of the deal, sorry. Kathy from WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hi, , Yes, my muscles, ligaments, and tendons are nearly always tight and/or inflamed. Stretches do help and I recently bought a book that describes exercises for people with arthritis, and some target AS. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hi My experience tells me that some of these streching exercises are easily practiced under warm waters. I gave up doing them at home because of the cold and lack of relaxation. I have a house full of kids and pets. I guess I'll have to give up teaching, because I am not able to correct tests, to write on the blackboard, to do school registers and so on. My elbow is killing me. However, I hope God helps me to finish my graduation on helping and teaching " special " children with learning disabilities and imparement.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Actually, I do not do them in water (although I'm sure it would help). I do some initial stretches and then move onto the strengthening stretches. Sometimes, my body reacts badly (i.e., increased pain), while other times I do just fine. When I asked my rheumatologist about this, he suggested that I reduce the amount I do at one time. Presently, I'm giving that a try. I do hope you feel better soon.
