Infusions make exercise difficult

I have to do 2 infusions a week. I do them at home. 2 needles at each infusion. I have to place the needles anywhere I can pinch an inch of fat, which is my legs mostly.
I am sore and bruised for a few days after. I find it hard to exercise because of this. I need some ideas on what exercises I can do. Any advice is welcome.
Thank you!

Have you talked to your doctor about exercises you are allowed to do, and the length of time you should do them? I seem to recall hearing that people with CVID are supposed to do very limited exercises, no more than 1 to 10 minutes per day because the exercise weakens the already compromised immunity system and could be dangerous for your health, even though you are on the medication.
I would think that if you do your infusions in the legs, you might want to exercise your upper body and/or abdomen for the days when when your legs are sore, and then a few days after the infusion when the legs aren't sore you could do the leg exercises instead of the upper body, being mindful that you don't exhaust yourself.
Are you a member of any CVID discussion forums elsewhere online? You might find useful information there from others facing the same issues.0 -
You might get some good input if you ask your question at this website:
