Chronic Pain and Chronic Fatigue...

 Hi! I'm new to the Fitbit Flex. I just got it for Christmas. I got it because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, along with some other health conditions. My goal is to get an average of steps for day/week and then go from there and try and up my steps by a little bit each week. I have a hard time staying active because of the fatigue and the work I exercise the more I hurt. It's REALLY hard to get motivated to do ANYTHING. I spend a lot of time in bed and on the internet or watching things of Netflix. Just wondering if there was anyone out there dealing with pain and fatigue and if you had any suggestions. I'm not looking for natural remedies for how to fix my pain, but thanks for the thought. Just wondering with others do for exercise that deal with things like this. Thanks! 🙂

I have arthritis and had a robotic knee replacement in June. I am still taking opiates. Pain in un operated knee and one done still killing me four months later. I can do 2500 steps one day and the next day is bed and YouTube. This is insane. I am 76 and missed the summer.
