Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Hello- just joined this group - have RA - saw a lot of postings regarding weight gain. I can certainly relate! I've gained 40 pounds in 5 years, mostly in the last couple of years of using prednisone. Is anyone familiar with Curves??? ...a workout " joint " (no pun intended) that offers hydrolic weight machines and aerobic circuit training? Well, I recently tried this and it HURTS - both during and after! I want to know if it is beneficial to work through the pain, and perhaps I will gain strenth and experience less pain in the future? OR, is it only painful and damaging? I asked my rheum. about exercise once and he brushed it off with a grunt - " if it hurts, don't do it. " Also, I would love to hear from anyone with a wonderful rheumatologist in the Fort Worth, Texas area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
