Two days after my onset of debilitating pain, I ordered on Amazon a toilet seat lift with handles. It is carefully boxed up and in the attic, should I ever need it again. I am a year and a half out from my Dx. I got off steroids with considerable pain last August, I rushed it due to vision issues that terrified me. My only remaining symptom is some upper arm pain and the worst on bending is the posterior upper leg pain, hips, I hear it is tendonitis. I don't know what it is but I can not sit on any hard surface or bending over at the waist w/o pain and clicking of tendon/ligaments. My doctor says it just me, but I feel it is equal pain, bilateral and it has to be a part of PMR. I agree with the other posts, I meditate/pray and really try to manage stress, because that's how all of this expressed itself in the first place.
