I'm super motivated and am dying to run again... but knee injuries are telling me no. They've been messed up for months (clumsy me managed to sprain them both within a month) and I can't afford to go to the doctor. They hurt on and off right now, and I really don't want to make it worse -- I still have my whole life ahead of me. I also am avoiding strain on my wrist, as I sprained it last year and didn't get a chance to let it heal properly. It hurts if I use it too much. Additionally, my hip has been messed up since I was about 12; it isn't quite in the proper place, and if I move it too much, it hurts to the point where I'm curled in a ball until it stops. I'm pretty sure I have slight scoliosis -- and if that's not it, then I just have a really messed up back. Again, can't afford health insurance, so haven't been to a doctor in years..

So with all of my health concerns, what other exercises can I do that are easy on the knees, hips, and wrists??
I know you guys aren't doctors, and I will eventually need to get professional help, but any advice is appreciated :flowerforyou:
