It was the physical therapist who recommended not slouching while sitting on the couch. I had told him my husband was falling asleep and I would see him slouching. He suggested putting the feet up and reclining back on the couch when he felt tired so that he wasn't in that slouched position. I should add we have a very expensive supportive couch that we bought when I was having some low back issues a few years ago. I think this is because he has three new compression fractures and one they think came from improper sitting. Of course they can't be sure but that was what came up when I described how he was sitting. Same with pain he developed after emptying the dishwasher. This is all a big fat pain in the you know where. LOL I sure hope he gets past this and can get back to some sort of normal life. One positive thing I read was that people with steroid-induced osteoporosis can have a greater chance of recovery than someone who didn't get it from steroid or drug use and who can go off the drugs. Until he's off prednisone, this will continue to be an issue. We're working toward that goal.
