Neck trouble?

My shoulder deep pain got worse. Now my right hand fingers' surfaces are numb.
Any activity causes more pain.  Typing, reading books, piano playing, painting, and chopping up vegetables.  Now even bicycling?  That's not fun.

At least walking didn't cause small back pain any more.  That's lucky!

The Sonoma Land Trust Eliot Trail

A week before, we hiked on the trail with worry about rain.  We had some showers from time to time, but we could enjoy hiking by the bay water.
Then, I realized that I had a hard time getting to sleep if I didn't have any exercise.  So this week I started walking in the morning around 2 miles to get sunlight.  It seems to be working so far.

Today I walked over 3 miles with an umbrella, and after the falling rain stopped, we biked almost 5 miles in the afternoon.

Well, hope tomorrow's hiking will be fun for us.  We both are a little worried about our never-goes-away lower body pain from walking, biking and gardening or any chore.  But at our age we should forget it and just carefully keep going.  Nobody knows how much longer we can do any exercise.   

 

Nowadays Pain Always Comes Afterwards

Usually it happens 3 to 5 hours later.  After bicycling, after walking, after any stretching work.  And the second pain period comes next day.  So we are always in pain, some kind of pain all the time.

But we don't want to take any pills yet, because we are so afraid of the side effect of the medicine.
So I'm not sure how long we can keep up. 

In addition the weather got very spooky.  In the morning is cloudy, then sunny! but it just lasts 2 or 2.5 hours to change to a nasty and cold rainy miserable day all the way to night.

So we did bike yesterday and walk today during the brief moments of sun with a lot of leftover pain.

At least we have a place to live, a little food to eat.  Thank God.😷

We got another beautiful morning!

Luckily when I got up I saw a blue sky, wow!  Quickly ate oatmeal.
After 30 minutes stretch exercise we went out for walking.

It was sunnier than yesterday, and the flowers and greenery looked enchanted.  I enjoyed walking very much, until...

About 40 minutes passed, I got bored, but I wanted to finish at least 60 minutes.  Walking is boring for me.
So I started singing with small voice and continued.   That successfully interrupted my brain getting bored,  and finally finished walking for over 60 minutes!!

Afterwards pains from 60 minutes walking is more severe than 60 minutes biking for me.  Especially my old injured right knee.

But I should continue both, I promised myself.
