How are you falling off your porch?
Tumbleweed · F
@HannahSky There are five steps and my hip is wonky sometimes & I lose my balance
HannahSky · F
@Tumbleweed yikes, that can be dangerous. Can you get a ramp?

@Tumbleweed I have the same but do have a handrail I can even lean against if my hands are full.
Tumbleweed · F
@HannahSky I'm in an apartment & not actually 'disabled' so no. I just have to walk up the steps slowly
HannahSky · F
@Tumbleweed I like the railing idea
Tumbleweed · F
@HannahSky The railin us especially good when I'm carrying in groceries

@Tumbleweed have you seen your doctor about your hip?
Tumbleweed · F
@HannahSky arthritis 😔
HannahSky · F
@Tumbleweed ugh 😕 painful. Anything help with the pain?
Tumbleweed · F
@HannahSky naproxin does pretty good. Thankfully!

@Tumbleweed that's great! I hear that's a lifesaver for a lot of people.
Tumbleweed · F
@HannahSky definitely!! Especially at work, I walk nonstop all day

@Tumbleweed rub the booze directly on your hip
Tumbleweed · F
@JohnnyNoir I hate to waste good booze tho, maybe I'll just drink a little extra!
HannahSky · F
@Tumbleweed hopefully you're not at the point of hip replacement, but they are very helpful to people when you get them.
Tumbleweed · F
@HannahSky I don't think it's a that point just yet but it's definitely crossed my mind

@Tumbleweed I can't say much. I stood up at work this morning, turned to walk and my lower back gave out a little. No fun
HannahSky · F
@Tumbleweed I know quite a few people who did very well after surgery
Tumbleweed · F
@JohnnyNoir OUCH!!! That does hurt
JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M
@Tumbleweed Yeah. I just did a 30 minute tens session and hope it helps

@HannahSky my mom's friend had both of hers replaced and she's doing great!!
