Was thinking about that sentence and thought I might ought to clarify. General
exercise -- walking or treadmill -- seems to help, but exercising specific
areas, especially in the early days, seemed to set off spasms in those areas.
I never knew whether to stop what I was doing or to exercise through it. I
usually stopped. It is not as bad now as it was originally, but my hand will
still spasm sometimes when it gets in certain positions, or sometimes for no
apparent reason at all. For those also with disc problems, any exercise or
action that seemed to increase symptoms would be good to stop and check on
with a dr. or PT before continuing.
