I have FM, a multi-level fusion (l4-s1), and a spinal stimulator. I need to start a good exercise program that will deal with all of my issues. Any thoughts? O, and I live in the desert where it is 120 degrees outside and I don't sweat properly because of one of my melds so I cannot walk outside.

Tai chi or yoga are recommended for fibromyalga (FMS). Another option would be a water aerobics program apecifically for people with arthitis. You would probably need a note from your doctor to attend the class. There are several good DVD's available for Tai Chi which you can do anywhere. Whatever you decide to do, do it very, very slowly. Many people with FMS who start on an exercise program do too much too soon. Five minutes of exercise is better than nothing and work your way up from there. take care.

I would get a tredmill for in your house that is the one an only piece of equiptment I love . you can walk your own pace and set your own timeline . I to have a fushion in my back L5 fushion and walking is one of the only thing that doesnt upset my body at first it may feel tight but it will get better once you stick with it.
