33. It could be bursitis in your hips

I have that and have trouble sleeping on my side when it acts up. The doctor recommended sleeping with a pillow between my knees but I am such a restless sleeper the pillow just gets in the way.

The problem is that while walking is good for my back, it exacerbates the bursitis in my hips. I'm supposed to get physical therapy for the hips but have not been able to schedule it due to all the work we're having done around the farm.
