I was walking with my daughter last night, and at the end of the walk, I went stumbling forward landing on my knees then jambing my wrists into the sidewalk and then my jaw into my shoulder. Those are all the areas I'm most tender in already. Anyway, I know walking is good for us, but this certainly set me back as I'm really X-tra hurting today now. And I had to go to work too.
I was also very dazed and confused for several seconds and couldn't answer my daughter when she was asking if I was OK. I haven't had a fall like that since I was a kid.
Anyone else have a fun experience like this trying to get in their exercise?

sorry you fell and hope you feel better soon.

I used to think of bubble wrapping my body when I would hike in case I fell down a hill. Now, that would annoy the heck out of everyone because you'd be POPPING!! all the time but it could be fun. It would have to be pretty think and you probably wouldn't be able to bend at the joints but still. It's all about the protection, right?
It all was made worse by taking gabapentin, but I did feel better when I was taking it.
Since I have had 4 (yes, count em 4) hip replacements, falling is a HUGE fear of mine, so I'm very careful, always watching the ground for any little thing that I can stumble on.
Fibro is so much fun isn't it?
