Laura,

I have the same problems, legs hurt, lower back pain,
and fatigue!!! I walk on my treadmill as long as I can
up to a mile every day possible, and I have to stop when
the legs get too tight. On the days I don't walk I don't
have more or less pain so I continue to walk to keep off
a little of the excess weight gained since onset of tm.
I did take water exercises and strength building water class
until my skin could no longer handle the chemicals and hot
water temps. I am going to try to return to those classes as
it has been a year and I think I can tolerate water for a while.
Those exercises were easy on my legs and I thought they
gave me greater range of motion. I think you would benefit
from getting back in the pool. I am on neurontin and I think
it helps to some degree--doesn't take pain away but hey, I
can't ( and shouldn't) complain, as I have come a long way
since April, '96!!!
