I woke up this morning and was fine. Took a hot shower, as usual, to get some of the stiffness out. Sat down for 10 minutes and when I got up, I could not stand up straight. It was bothering me a little this past weekend, but nothing like this! I am in No. California and it is very cold and raining, AGAIN. Maybe arthritis in hips? I started taking Vitamin D3 and Magnesium today. I believe it is muscles in my lower back. The stiffness just will not let me stand up straight. I feel like the hunchback of Notre Dame! Anyone got any suggestions? :'(
I use the heating pad and 400mg of Advil, mine usually starts with a change in the weather, i.e. rain or colder temps.
I often use a heating pad in the AM to "soften" up my back
