I big mouth

Try lying on this for 10 mins and last 2 mins do the knees bent stretch to the sides.

I think your car seating position is killing your back.

I heard of this, you are the second person telling me that. Need a PT to do both? How to know which muscles to stretch and to train for flexibility, this is alien to me. 

just do the movements and see what you can do. 

If can't do, then find the regressions that you can do and build up from there.

or find a PT who works mostly with 50s onwards. 

Got 2 type of PTs out there.

Switch to ARBs if Calcium channel blockers (amlodipine/nifedipine LA) give you too much swelling. Unless your BP really need both.

I use classpass.

It is about $25/class.

It is harder and harder to find stretching yoga as not many sign up.

Hip extension exercises. Main muscle target includes glute maximus and hamstring. These groups of muscles weakening are usually the cause from long term sedentary lifestyle.

YouTube search hip extension, or strengthening of the posterior chain muscle group. Simple ones just hip extend over the edge of your bed. Or single leg dead lift. Can get roman chair on PDD for more advanced strengthening.

Else just do running if you can commit the time.

I believe there is such a thing as delayed injury.

Last sun i tripped and fall while walking outside, and i used my hands to break fall. My hand and forearm only started to feel pain on tue. 😅

Your delay is considered short already.  My pain takes 7 business days to respond.

I am on 10mg amlodipine daily

the edema bothered me initially

my family doctor quite reluctant to change the medicine, prefer me to stick with it and deal with the edema 

I sleep with a wedge pillow to raise my legs at night

maybe 10 times in a year I will get those "shoes feel like one size smaller edema" especially towards end of the day
