Thank you again Maryann
I saw my Dr. yesterday and she said to keep my meds the same for now...they are working for the time being (why mess with it). She also told me to try walking a bit at a time as it is a form of exercise. I live on a farm and our barn is 280 feet from the house...so I plan to walk out there at least once a day to start and see how that goes.
The only problem that could arise is when I am on my feet for an extended period of time my ankles swell and legs get tight and swell...I have to do this in moderation so I do not make things any worse then they are now. It is possible that the spine may be slipping and the nerves are being pinched. Do you have any suggestions on how to exercise without causing any payback that my body will give me??
Or do you know any Web sites I could explore to find something that works for me?? Also should I join a group on EmpowHer to get feedback from others in this similar type of situation??

Again I appreciate your comments and check daily to see if any messages are left for me.
Thanks again for your insight, Krista
