What exercise can be done by a young person with a shoulder and knee joint pain/arthritis?I Cant do any upper body exercise due to my right shoulder and cant do any lower body exercise due to the knee problem. I tried swimming but it too causes shoulder pain. Have tried different doctors and physiotherapy without any success.......I AM JUST 34 YEARS OLD. HOW WILL I LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE WITHOUT EXERCISE???, I will probably die young due to lack of exercise. this is very frustrating.

You might look into Aquajogging, running in place floating in the pool with a foam belt for bouyancy. Lance Armstrong does it to improve his power. Lots of track athletes do it as well. No impact and it is low speed, so it should be easy on the knee. Or just trying kicking with a kickboard, either with arms extended or kickboard hugged to your chest, and do flutter kick, your knees will stay pretty much straight.
You could do lots of sit-ups and core work as well? You might just have to learn to deal with some pain in anything you do, as hard as that is. Is a little pain worth more years on the life? Sounds like a frustrating situation, hope you can find something that works for you.
