Edward Carter The pain was mostly in my hips and knees, but my back is sort of tender from when I hit
it on the bed frame as I fell.
Your avatar is there any non-medication that relieve the pain (Clarified to Does anything help the
pain?.) Question
07/21/20 12:11 PM PDT
Edward Carter Sometimes rest helps. The doctor also told me to try applying a warm, damp washcloth
if I have morning stiffness in my hips. They also have me do some exercises for my knees, and I've got
these elastic supports on both knees to help. If none of those things help, I take Aleve, but that didn't
help this morning. The pain was unbearable. (Clarified to if anything helps the pain.)
Your avatar what causes the pain to be worse Question
07/21/20 12:12 PM PDT
Edward Carter It was probably my damn arthritis. I woke up with terrible pain in my hips and knees. I've
never fallen like this before though.
Your avatar what is the aggravating factors of pain Question
07/21/20 12:13 PM PDT
Edward Carter I have had a little pain every morning for the past month or so -- just walking around
seemed to trigger it. I chalked it up to morning stiffness, getting old, that kind of thing. Sometimes it
even feels like weather changes causes it. This morning was a game changer though. I fell in my bedroom
and hit my back on the bed frame.
