I used to be an avid walker. But now that I’m nearly 83, I constantly find it extremely difficult to keep my sense of balance? I believe this problem emanates from many years of chronic worsening Back Pain & Sciatica! Because of my condition, I don’t really walk that much anymore. Now today I had to Bus into Watford to keep an appointment. Well once I got off the Bus, I HAD TO START WALKING. Although I forgot to put my Fitbit 2 on my wrist, I actually to record 4074 Steps on my iPhone 7plus! This very much pleased me & by the time I got home, although in much Back Pain, I really did feel I’d given both my weak redundant legs a fairly good workout in a very long time! In some strange way I felt that this long walk for me, had somehow either lessened the Back Pain, or I had just got more used to it? I really would like the advice from someone more knowledgeable than I, on whether it would be a good plan to try to FORCE myself to do another such walk tomorrow & then to repeat this arduous painful task DAILY?
