I think I'll try the tush cush someday soon. I have tried so many things that I gave up on everything. Sometimes in the past I've been in so much pain I would have tried a sledge hammer but couldn't convince the hubby to wack me in the head with it! $50 seems like a small price to pay if it works and if the reccomendation comes from another spiney".
Maria I totally agree about the driving and visiting friends with soft sofas. My right leg kills me when driving so I stick to short trips, but even that is so much better. I still have parathesias in my feet but getting better. If you worked at a VA hosp you must have worked your rear off. Like me...back in the day when you have 15 pts. I haven't gone back to work yet. I doubt very much even with nurse/patient ratios I could work a floor again. I am in the northbay not too far from SF. Are you still around this area?
