I am 84. I do some exercises prescribed by my PT, and usually walk for about 20 minutes each day. Figure I better keep moving for as long as I can. What bothers me most is oftentimes I cannot sit without some degree of pain on my right side in the hip and bottom area. Cushions help some, but not much.

@seattle579 Walking up to 20 minutes each day is excellent. Good for you!

Does breaking up the time you sit with movement help ease your right side hip and bottom pain? For instance get up and walk to another room during TV commercials, or set a timer as a reminder its time to get up and stretch. Has PT provided a gentle daily stretch routine for your full body?
