Has anyone had any luck with yoga for pain management? I've tried a bit but only some beginner stretches for 10 minutes at a time. It feels nice in the moment, but has anyone had a good experience with it overall?

yeah I've had a pretty good experience. I will say some tutorials have moves that trigger my POTS so I do have to be careful. I would generally say it helps but you've gotta balance that with fatigue and be careful not to overexert.
Yeah i have had it help in the past! I developed mobility issues so its not as easy to do anymore but honestly looking up yoga for specific disorders on like youtube was a life saver at the beginning of my chronic pain journey! The only trick is if it hurts just stop!

@anemone Yeah, the gentle/controlled push is a nice feeling I find.
I have done chair yoga, I dont have the strength for regular yoga. I haven't done it in a long time, but it did help a bit.
I try to do some yoga daily. Simple though
Yes, it helps me quite a bit.
I think can be really helpful as a Gentle form of excerise or as a way to prevent tense muscles/joints from affecting you as time goes on. It's not something that has big results right away, it's more about a steady practice
I've found it helps my nerve pain sometimes, and also my joint pain sometimes. However, I have to be super careful because stretching is a precursor to subluxation for me.
@SJP I get that- not the exact same issue, but if I'm not careful stretching I give myself real nasty muscle spasms. It's like walking on eggshells every time.
@joyboy Me, too! It's so frustrating. I usually just go right to gentle strength training. The one stretch that seems to not fail me is the sciatica stretch. I don't sublux often when I do it, but I do still get worse POTS symptoms.
I have been awake since 4 am fighting pain in feet, hand, low back , neck and hip. Nearly going out of my mind. I finally gave in and took my pain meds early. Just now beginning to stop the misery. This is such cruelty.
Not tried.
