Hi BAP!

You described how I get out of bed perfectly.

Been doing that exact thing for several months if not a year now.

I have discovered using the lawn mower, even though it is self propelled, has caused me considerable discomfort from yesterday and I only used it for thirty minutes. So, its a good thing I have a appointment with Spine doc on Wednesday as it will be two since The Shot.

I am getting ready to take a pain pill here shortly.

The best,

micro...

Was chatting with my sister. She said a cortizone shot can reduce inflammation and presumably swelling so in that case that could take away the pain. (Every case is different so that need not apply.)

Note that a mattress is not necessarily a mattress where the back is concerned. Two things:

(1) I learned how to get in and out of bed. Especially out. Do not use back muscles. Roll over to side. Put feet down first. Then push up with arms to get out of bed. If you google this, you can find video.

(2) A pillow placed under my knees and upper thigh relaxes lower back. I always sleep with that for my lower back. Do a google.

Does this make sense?
