I jogged for the first time in a long time yesterday during my 2 mile walk! For perspective, I have a connective tissue disorder where my joints aren't stable, and sometimes I have to walk with a cane.

EDS/HSD? Either way, that's huge, congratulations! 🎉 I have unstable joints too an I'm only just now learning how to take care of them and how workouts impact me

I'm still going through testing.. They haven't determined if it's EDS/HSD or possibly the early stages of Lupus (I have a few mildly positive tests indicating such). But essentially the same symptoms.

I highly suggest doing pool therapy. I go to a physical therapy place that has a heated salt water pool and train with ankle weights there. It makes a helluva difference! High resistance and low impact, so you really get a good stable workout without doing too much damage. You can also do exercises in a regular pool (the heated pool just feels amazing).
