The advice about the videos is good. But ALWAYS see a physician as @SabP said. NSAIDS should not be taken long term without the advice of a physician. There could be issues it can exacerbate or cause like internal bleeding in the GI tract... -
I have a similar condition which comes and goes. I really like the You Tube videos by Will Harlow called Thriving beyond Fifty. He is a physiotherapist who covers all sorts of ailments for people as they age. I have found his exercises to be very...
