A member asked:
Muscle deconditioning (?) due to being bed bound & housebound for years - is it expected to have worsening of muscle weakness after increasing exercise (gentle short walks outside house). took me 9 days to get back to baseline after 4 short walks?

Yes, muscular disuse atrophy can be severe and many times a short physical therapy program vs physical trainer is needed in order to ensure gradual strengthening. Start with your primary care doc, who would be able to coordinate locally.
