2179 steps yesterday.  One of the various antibiotics I take when I get a UTI definitely causes muscle pain for me.  I start getting these pains within 8 hrs of the first dose.  I hope your doctor can help solve your issue Wally.  Pain in the muscles is no fun.

6043 steps, 71 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  You are right Grammabear, muscle pain is no fun.  the interesting thing is that the best thing I can do seems to be walking.  It starts when I have been sitting down for a while and get up.  It hurts a lot when I first start to walk but gets better the more I walk.  I plan to do some shopping today so I hope I can manage that.

7205 steps, 73 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  I think that my pain problem may be related to my back.  I have found out that if I once get past the hurt as long as I keep a good straight posture the pain in my legs is not there.  If I bend over or twist my waist, sit or lay down it is a trial to get back up straight but when I do I don't have a problem.  It may be something I need to see my orthopedic doctor about.

Taking off early today to get bloodwork for pcp appointment this afternoon. I think I am going to do some clothes shopping in between so that may help the step count.

13,100 steps yesterday. 2 hours 6 mins walking.

The shopping excursion helped the step count plus also walking around the hospital too.

3260 steps yesterday.  A lot of grocery shopping and errands helped raise my step count.  Also the muscle aches from the antibiotic I took last week are beginning to leave, so I feel some better.

7297 steps, 79 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  I still have my goal set to 7000 steps so glad when I can get there.  It's really tough getting started in the morning but once I get past hurting and get walking it gets better.
