So what brings you in today? Question
02:48 PM EDTThis morning I woke up with awful pain in my hips and knees . . . When I tried
to get out of bed it was as if my joints just gave out and I fell right there in my
bedroom. I hit my lower back on the bed frame, which I'm sure didn't help
matters. To be honest, I'm worried that it's only going to get worse as I sit here
getting older every minute.
