@tweetypie13 Thank you. I understand most of it. Not sure about the middle one but I think I can get it will a bit of trial and error. When I was not on prednisone and pain at its worse I did a couple of simple things before getting out of bed. I did a shoulder and neck stretch and a butt tighten and release. My hip pain isn't really in the hips but lower butt or more delicately put upper thigh. I also use resistance bands for my shoulders and that helps a lot. I am dealing with a body that will be 79 in October so we have that in common. I refuse to give in to PMR.
