Useful stretches?

Like most with osteoarthritis (I need hip replacements) I am much worse in the morning especially if I've managed to sleep deeply. Can anyone recommend any stretches/exercises I could do in bed to warm up my joints before I hobble round the bedroom? Thanks.

Hello, we have some exercises on our website that might be helpful: arthritisaction.org.uk/livi...

Also our friends at NHS Choices have produced a series of great stretching videos, so maybe that's also helpful: nhs.uk/video/Pages/pilates-...

All the best and keep us posted on how you get on.
