My hips tend to hurt if I lie on my back too long, aye lol.

Oddly (or not?) my hips hurt lying on my side. They don't hurt lying on my back. Other parts of my body hurt lying down too. Some when on my back. Some when on my side. Some both ways. Typical nights see me first lie on one side, switch sides when that hip becomes too painful, switchi again when 'that' side becomes too painful (the other side having calmed somewhat be then), rinse and repeat again and again until I fall asleep. Unless both sides become unendurably painful at the same time. I then switch to my back. I then either fall asleep on my back, or non-hip pains become unendurable. If so, there's hope that my hips have again calmed, allowing me another chance to nod off on my side. And so it goes. Some nights hip (and other) pains never advance beyond bothersome. I like those night.

I'm pretty sure my issue is the sacroiliac joint. It doesn't get enough movement, so it's inflamed and sore. Sitting all day and not getting exercise will cause this. It's a common desk job injury.

The pain radiates across my lower back and around the hips. Chiropractic manipulation helps, as does anti inflammatories, but I cant take those all the time and I have yet to find a chiro here much less see one. I used to go in once every three to four weeks. It was fabulous.

Hmmm....I wonder if this sacroiliac joint is the source of my woes? My lying down pains began circa 2012/13 when, out of the blue while sitting at the computer, I was suddenly hit by excruciating pain in my rump. Could sit down only with a cushion of several soft fluffy pillows beneath me (with considerable pain). At the same time I found that lying on my back results in severe pain again centered in my rump, both extending to my lower back and partway down my thighs. I bought a relatively inexpensive pursue-built chair cushion that, used with one soft pillow, reduced sitting-pain to tolerable levels. I was eventually able to dispense with the pillow and rely on the cushion alone. I still use it on my computer-desk chair. I not sit relatively but not totally pain free. What small sitting pain I have not is usually totally ignorable. This was no quick process. It took years.

As of lying down, that's been even slower. Only early this year (2020) did I realize that I can now sometime lie on my back relatively pain free for an extended period of time. How long a period I do not know, because other body pains kick in that force me on my side(s). I suspect some of this is due to my mattress and sofa, the only devices I have to lie down on. I can't test this theory at, say, a mattress showroom, since I've need to lie on a mattress hours a day several days in a row to form a valid verdict.

The point of all this meandering is that my initial sitting/lying issues began remarkably like what you describe, and only later morphed into what I endure now.

Oof. That doesn't sound good! The pain description makes me think sciatica but I'm not sure. I've had my upper right leg go numb before. I was unable to get out of my chair by myself.

That was why I started to see the chiro.

Had I been out of a job for longer I guess I would have developed that too. MOving around sure is good for the ole body. Just too bad it's so exhaustive

Bed soon, btw.

[Sakiri]

Yas.

Bed is good. I'm blinking freezing.

[mirocu]

I have a question. Did Saki have a NES when she was growing up in Amurica?

[Sakiri]

Yes, got it in 1985.

[mirocu]

Yes, got it in 1985.

Awesome! Did you get it at Christmas like I did?

[Sakiri]

Yes. Haha. I vaguely remember how much it cost too because mom complained about getting dad(divorced) to help pay for it.

[mirocu]

Don't remember when I got mine. Maybe 1988-89-ish? I got the standard pak which included SMB and two controllers. Blew my socks off I can tell you that

Still have the system, box, controllers and manual for the NES. The cartridge I traded however like a BUFFOON.

[Sakiri]

I lost mine in a move. Had the cartridge still. Had a SNES too.. also lost that in a move. :/

Can emulate all the games now tho.

Appears I'm wrong on the date. It says it came out in 88, the version I had. But I don't remember it being that late. We hadn't moved to the house we were in in 88 though...

Can't even ask mom.

Ok this is getting me.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_En...%20Mario%20Bros.

Apparently, the set I had, released in 88. It had the dual game cart, the zapper, two controllers.

But the picture I have of us opening it is dated Christmas 85.

Weird.

My nephew also has the mini NES they released in 2016.

Hoi mah boyos! well I've been sick with (you guessed it) this Covid crap. I think I'm on the downslope to recovery I just have a HORRIBLE sinus headache and pressure, if that would subside I'd have this in the bag. I will say unless you have a REALLY good immune system, you DO NOT WANT to catch this stuff, I can see where people with bad immune systems lose their fight with this crud, I've NEVER been this sick in my entire life!

Sorry to hear that, Reaper. I'm so glad your (relative) youth and strong system should help you recover. Best wishes and get well soon!

Yipers! Glad everything seem on the mend now! Keep a close eye on yourself for the next several weeks, just in case, as I'm sure you will, having no other choice.
