And I can't stand still for any length of time, or it gets stiff. I have to either move, or sit down.

I also apply Voltaren when I wake up and it's especially bad that morning. Is all of this treating the bursitis, or the osteoporosis? I have no idea. All I know is that it helps, and that's good enough for me.
