    yes susan i agree sadly today my sciatic nerve has raised its ugly head.  Hope it is to be short lived.  Had an epidural for it back in November.  Well just going out for my 3 mile walk.  Hang on in there x

    OMG... Hi Susan, If youv'e seen any of my other post you know how many jokes are in this for me wink but in the correct context of hip op recovery I have to agree, it takes me a good hour, up and about,stretching muscles, before my operated leg is back to the strength it had the day before. In other words , yes morning stiffness is awful until it is relieved lol. I find giving it a good ru....not going there... I have been mostly in the spare room at night cause cant lay still...constantly have to move leg to get comfy.Sometimes a pillow under knee helps, sometimes pillow betwen knees and lay on side for a bit, sometimes just sliding foot up n down bed bending knee... Having said that last night slept in own bed only moved a few times and felt well rested this morning and my better half didn't even moan so must've been fairly quiet, cause she up for work quite happily,so i think it getting bettersmile.

      I still have yet to sleep in my bed I mean really sleep not just lay there for an hour before this need to get up and move my leg sets in. Some I came home from the hospital my nights are spent in the trusty recliner so when the need to move sets in I can get up without disturbing hubby, he needs a sleep to.

      Don't mean to be rude Amanda , but if you and hubby are old enough have you thought of going into sheltered accommodation , you wouldn't have to worry aboutpractical things so much
