I was diagnosed with hip arthritis in the summer following a scan. It's so painful in the morning that I'm struggling to get to the bathroom. I'm tired all the time but if I rest during the day it's then a struggle again when I get up. Does anyone have any tips on what to do before I get up that will make it less painful. I'm only 54 but first thing I feel like 94. Thanks in advance
