i now every morning do 50 sit ups from the side of the bed. feet flat on the floor like you were sitting on the commode, lie back- have a couple pillows to help you lie back. do 25 this way but only come back uo to a sit position. the next set of 25 , slowly to what you can handle is like reaching for your drawers. and back to lying on the pillows. IE sit ups. do what is comfortable if they help. its a good exercise. month two for me and can touch the floor. helps with that low ache in te back aas you first get up to walk somewhere. and no im not a Pt person i just know what helps me. i just turned 69. have a blessed day.

thanks so much for this. It is so helpful to know what others are doing that help. Yes getting up in the morning. I am bent over and I’m doing pelvic tilts in bed before I get up, but it’s good to have an idea of something to do on the side of the bed as you are mentioning. You had said that you were bedridden for six months so it is remarkable how far you have come and I thank you so much for your advice and for everyone’s input that is going through spinal stenosis or something with their spine.
