Hi. I see you posted this July 7th, so I’m not sure where you are with your workouts. I have arthritis in my lower back T10 and down, in both knees and joint pain (from Crohn’s) in hands and feet. I was in the same position as you in March this year. I had been losing weight but realized I needed to get back to the gym. It was a slow and sometimes painful return but now I go just about every day and added swimming/water aerobics in June.
