Hi judy63,

I put this reply on your earlier post but just in case you didn't see it, will post again!

As helixhelix suggests, it would be worth asking your GP or rheumatologist to arrange an occupational therapist to do a home visit.

I have also put a link here to a company called Disabled Living Foundation as they may have some suggestions for you.

I was also wondering about the "kneeler" you can get for gardening and if that may help. Wonder whether that would be something that is suitable to be used in the home?

There looks like there are all sorts of ones at similar prices, here is just one example.

Hi there I have this problem when kneeling down and have been on the floor for long periods trying to get up and the pain is horrible, the last time I knelt for a bit I had really badly bruised knees and they where sore for about a week I avoid it now where possible lol. xxxx
