Thanks Emmit - keeping a sense of humor keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously and sliding into depression and self -pity parties. The one thing I have found that helps the most is pushing through the stiffness and pain with stretching and extensions to remain mobile. It’s not any fun at first but sure helps in getting me through the day.

My wife has been doing it for years and she fascia blasted my hand, shoulders and legs (different times) and it was great relief. of course, it is not permanent, and it does hurt sometimes but the relief is real for me. I bought her a motorized blaster for Christmas (had to save up for this) and that thing works very well. It also helps that my wife does the "blasting". Check it out
