I force myself to walk around the house but sometimes the pain is too great. I find that sitting too long causes severe pain when I stand up. I am on a diet but am at a plateau. I hope I start losing weight again. I contacted my PC and she has ordered a hospital bed for me. I hope it will go low enough so I can get in the bed. She gave me the name of an orthopedic that might help me. I really don't know what to do. Thanks for thinking of me.
