Exercises important too

Thanks for all the Gen.

Yes the mild exercises are all Very Important -particularily for the
back, thighs , shoulders.
After a compression fracture of G5 , I too spent months getting
rid of spasms , having to regain strength & suppleness,

Thank goodness my excellent Physiotherapist showed me
some good exercises , which I do daily & suffer very little.

If my back does hurt from overdoing things , I've found lying down as straight as possible for 15 minutes helps a lot.

Watch out for humping heavy luggage about !

Good luck
