Often wonder how you guys manage with the knees. My knees are shot. I can get down to do things but the hard part is getting up. No longer have any leg strength.

My knees are fine, it's my back that hurts most of the time.

My knees are fine, it's my back that hurts most of the time.

I know what you mean. I used to have to stay home from work quite often when my lower back went out. All that sitting ect then standing on concrete floors all day. What I have found is that I need to always do the same routine each day. I do a hamstring stretch, then general stretching, then on my hands and knees do a rocking motion forward and backwards, then as many pushup's as I can do at one time, then go for a walk after all after brunch. Also lying in bed too much makes it go bad. The only thing that fouls me up is when I start doing work around the house, garage ect that involves a punch of bending and crawling and reaching. I am trying to send the truck to the mechanic who has a hoist rather than crawl under it in the driveway.
