Morning Stiffness

Our mattress is very comfortable and only a few years old. A heating pad before getting up? Never thought about this solution.

@Jessicalynnt I will have to try this tip.

@marlina if it helps relax the muscles so you aren't so stiff getting up it might help!

I have no problem getting out of bed.

I think that is normal. I slept in this morning and it felt good

Does scoliosis keeps you from doing certain activities?

I guess that is what it is: part of ageing.

I agree with you changjiangzhibin89, degenerative ailments are unavoidable. It's a matter of time when we cross that bridge. To some they happen in an earlier stage of senior years. Lifestyle and the type of food one eats could hasten the process. To slow down the process, aside from adhering to a healthy lifestyle and diet,regular practice of meditation helps a lot.

It is mostly my back and my right hip. I need coffee too and some walking around before I feel better. Raining a lot right now, but it looks like springtime. Also pretty windy.

Might also be some arthritis.

@marlina & @amnabas if you don't have serious problems like low back pain or scoliosis, I strongly suggest slow walking early in the morning as a form of exercise. Walking around in the house doing your daily chores is no substitute to exercise :-). Swimming twice a week as an exchange to the walking exercise would even do you much better, it provides a thorough blood circulation. I have problems with slow walking exercise, I always feel exhilarated after the walk but in the afternoon my low back starts to ache

Good for you Anna.

I feel like this every morning.
