Everyone should: Do you want to have spina bifida, arthritis, and pain from the tailbone down, and be in lousy shape? Not exercising will make everything else worse. Confer with your doctor to make sure that the exercises you are doing are appropriate for your condition, respect your body's limits, back off when the exercise causes pain, and exercise. And don't forget to eat healthy too.

See your doctor: You could have a host of issues that could cause your pain, could be bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, ligament issues, meniscal injury, sciatica etc. So you may want to see an orthopedic pain specialist that can tell you what is going and help you with the latest treatments or exercise therapies available. You may want to consider stem cell therapy as well. Regenexx.Com
