Gentle exercise may help the stiffness and pain but because it's too hard to move about I can't do the gentle exercise which means my muscles and joints are suffering and getting weaker. Silly, isn't it?

That sounds good too. I know a warm bath helps so maybe that could be a natural extension. Thanks once more.
