i thought it would be good to start this thread.
please feel free to add any tips on things to do with daily life,exercise ect ect to make life a bit easier.
my first tips are............alot of us have hip pain,i have found a few things that can help.
1 sitting on a too soft seat does not give the hip girdle the support it needs as it scrunches up that area,a firm seat is better.
if your sofa or chair is too soft try a piece of hard board under the seat cushion.
2 i found a trick to relax the hip girdle area...........lay on your bed in a reclining position with pillows having one to support your lower back.
you can either bring both legs up bending at the knees or just one with the foot tooked under the other leg.
now you should be able to relax the hips gently against the bed..........if your doing it right you will instantly feel the hips relax.
3 regards to night foot spasms and cramps...........my feet are ofton cold and i found if i wear socks for a bit before bed then go to bed in them it greatly reduces spasms and cramps.
if you try these let me know how you get on
