I’m one of those people who have a nonspecific disorder. I get plenty of exercise both aerobic and strength training. It helps with maybe 30% of my pain.

People who play armchair doctor only make things worse for those of us who are actually disabled.



What is your aerobic exercise?


My workout routine was prescribed by an MD who specializing in pain, specifically targeting my areas of pain. Then it was reinforced over eight weeks, four days per week, six hours per day by a team of two physical therapists and one occupational therapist in a pain management program. The program follows the bio-psycho-social model of pain management.

That said, I’m not going to share details with you because your other comments in this thread indicate that you intend to argue in bad faith.

However, if anything I said seems interesting, feel free to google! The bio-psycho-social model is very interesting, it’s the first real advance in pain management since we lost opioids as an option.

These kinds of disorders — the ones you think aren’t real — are really disabling. I genuinely hope that you (or really anyone) never find yourself in this position, it’s truly miserable.


I would be concerned if it has not solved your pain. Physical therapy did very little for me and the exercises they recommended because it is so weak. HIIT and core strength training was far more beneficial for pain


OK! Good luck, I hope you’re never disabled, you won’t enjoy it.
