@karen00- this sounds so painful. My husband has very bad arthritis too and I know that he always hurts somewhere.
Do you have pain medicine? Can you move around to loosen up some of your muscles so you aren't so stiff? There are exercises that you can do even lying down. If you don't have medicine than can you get it or PT?

@merpreb I do have very strong pain medicine, but it’s not working very well anymore. I think my body has gotten used to it. I did see a physical therapist after I was released from rehab and I do have exercises. Last time I did them, I could barely move from the pain. The PT always told me that if I felt pain while doing the exercises to stop. Trouble is that I feel pain even before I start. There are some that I can still do, though.
