I've read conflicting views and been given different advice about exercise. I have gone from playing a pretty serious sport and practicing up 15 hours weekly to...walking (I use that term loosely) slowly to the store three blocks away and back. ANY effort triggers and increases spasticity and cramps, and the grinding fatigue and muscle aches/weakness set me back for days. However, I can't let go the idea that exercise should help. I defer to the experience of the group at large- does exercise speed progress up? Should I just suck it up and keep trying because it slows progress? In my search on the forum and elsewhere, I've seen both exercise and taking it easy recommended. I already do rom stuff, but it has to be passive or all my strings get wound up tight.
