I have a suggestion for your pains, from my personal experiences: see if you can figure out what causes them.
I have been able to overcome hip pain and back pain, by being alert what causes them, or to get worse, and some creative thinking.
ex: hip, I knew I was leaning very heavily on that side, when working on computer.
It was hurting SOO BAD I stopped, desperate, to do something. Then I recalled something I had heard, and — put something in the shoe on the other side to lift it a little. It worked immediately. Beats an operation !
My back sometimes starts to hurt, and I know I have been sitting, too long, in a bad position. Doesn’t hurt while doing it, just after. Same with how I lie down at nite.
Just passing on, hope it might help.
I was thinking that the chiropractor might be able to take some x-rays and see what the problem is. It may just be that the osteoporosis in the back is getting worse - but after the parathyroidectomy, they told me that condition should get better - not worse.
My sister in Minnesota gardens quite a bit. She has indoor grow lights to get the plants thru the winter and has had the police stop by to see what she was growing....
For outdoors she built a couple of cages out of 2 x 2 and 1 x 2 lumber with wire fencing to keep out the squirrels and other animals as they like her tomatoes and other edibles.
Also....
I work at the computer most of the day. Very important to be comfortable when at a desk. No more aches and pains after I made some changes.
I lowered my desk to a height of 28” so my arms rest evenly when sitting on my chair. My chair has adjustable arm rests and back support. See below. I use 2 mouse pads to rest my arms and elbows on and a 3rd one for the mouse. I have the mousepads on a thin cotton placemat so when using the mouse and resting my arm I can easily slide them around and the desk does not get scuffed.
I bought this chair when it was on sale at $98 w/tax earlier this year. Best chair. The seat can tilt downward at an angle, maybe 5 degrees. Now my legs no longer have the circulation cut off. The product description says no tilt but it does tilt. I was at Office Depot and tried it out before buying (on sale)
It has a back that is also adjustable and the seat can slide back and forth from the back support. I added a thin memory foam cushion as the seat is a little thin for me.
Set of 2 for $18. I use one in my Honda car and another on my work chair.

I also laid down several rubber mats then added a soft rug from Target on top to rest my feet on. It is about 4” high.
Cut these in 2 pieces. You can also get some wood and build a platform then throw a rug on it.

At work my desk height is 29” and it causes pain after a while if I rest my arms on the desk using the computer. just 1” difference is enough to cause shoulder aches and my arm is always at an angle. The company will remodel maybe later this year as they did another office building and the desks will be of adjustable height going as low as 24” and high enough to work standing up.
