I am nursing an inflamed hip and lower back joint - the joint is the one that sets just to the right of the bottom of my spine. It is called, the sacroiliac? Anyway, my computer chair is really hard to sit at for any length of time - and it's a good chair too, - just way too soft. I am going for a cortisone shot on Tuesday - meanwhile I am resting and doing heat treatments as well as walking to keep things flexible. The pain, when it grabs is frightening so I am being very careful and moving oh so slowly. Good Lord!!
It is hard for me to sit at my computer and type so for the next week or so I will be around but limited in my commenting and posting, if at all.
"Happy Spring-time to all of you". I am on a healing mission. :-)

Hi Gail,
I have what is called sacroiliactitis.
I can't say it or spell it like the doctor can but when it acts up my hip gives out as I am walking. It is horrible because I don't know when it will hit. I hope the shot helps you. I have had them in my knees and hands.
I have a laptop that I use in my recliner as I can't sit in a chair with my feet down for very long. I hope all goes well for you and that the shot helps.
Love Di ♥
"The Weaver of Grass" is having trouble with something similar.
Look after yourself, we wish you the best...Tramp
Oh that does sound painful...the corisone shot will help Gail, it takes a couple of days to work into the joint but they always help the infammation (well it does for me)
Take care of yourself sweetie, keeping you in my heart and prayers.......:-) Hugs
Dear Gail

I will keep you in my good thoughts and prayers.
Hugs to you!

Take care of yourself, Gail. Give yourself time to heal. Rest.

I'm sorry you're experiencing such pain, Gail. Hope your healing mission is short and you feel better soon. Take extra care.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this, Gail.
I hope the shot helps you to feel better.
That's the worst, not knowing exactly what it is you do that sets the bolt of pain streaking through your body. So then you have to walk on egg shells all the time!
Maybe a laptop and easy chair like Diana would help.
How's it working out with Gracey Blue? She seems like such a good dog and not a handful, but I hope she's on her best behavior now!
You and Diana both need to rest up and heal.
Feel better.
Love to you,
Eileen
HI TERESA'

thank youall for caring. Gracey Blue went to m daughters for the night. She is really very good but right now even the normal needs are jut too much for me to do for her. I am doing a heat/massage treatment right now - the contraption is on my computer chair. I sleep all night - it doesn't wake me up and it eases up a bit throughout the day but first thing in the morning it is awful AND if I move wrong, well, I see stars!! Phew
\Love to you all
Gail
peace.....

I really can empathise having twic been completely incapacitated by my lower back (sacreal area, like you.
I know how awful it is getting outof bed, trying to do normal tasks... and as for sneezing.. well... Enough said...
Please know you are in my thoughts.
I hope tomorrow's cortisone shot helps to ease the pain.
