Hi. I suffer from DISH (diagnosed 5 years ago aged 55).

My spine is becoming increasingly "frozen" restricting both twisting and bending; I have permanent pain in my right hip and leg - caused by trapped nerves (bone growing over the lumbar foramen), and I have had surgery for cervical DISH to clear the pressure on my windpipe and oesophagus. DISH sucks! I know there is no "wonder cure" but I wondered if anybody had any lifehacks to deal with the bending problems and the chronic pain?
