I don't know how you but you just find the strength to carry on and both I and my Physio have made the connection that when I am smiling through the pain I achieve more
The thing to learn is that you're going to have ups and downs, but do a little bit at a time and build up..
....
Think of it in terms of running a marathon, you don't get up and think I feel good I'll run 30 odd kilometres today; if you did you'd probably have all sorts of pains and problems taking days to recover. But if you train for it prepare for it the chance of injury and recovery period is greatly reduced.
So everyday do a small amount and build it up (1 main walk on Mon, Tues & Wed then 1 an a half mins the next 3) and in a month think how far you'll manage
