Arthritis and torn rotator cuffs in shoulders. Experience a lot of pain and the Dr suggested some kind of hydro therapy. I cannot go away from home for this every day so I was wondering which would better serve the purpose, a walk in tub or a jacuzzi type bath tub so I can keep the shower also.
She and her (then 98 year old) boyfriend made it a habit to take their showers at her house, and both really liked it. It was so unsafe to just have a bathtub she had to step in and out of, and looks so much nicer than the old beige-pink tub she had in there previously (1900 house).
And I agree on the hot tub, if you have a place for one. Clean up in the shower, but soak in the hot tub.
Of course you can get a shower head with different settings, and I realize it wouldn’t be the same, but way more economical. That might be challenging though with your shoulder issues.
Have you had cortisone shots? 2 per 12 months covered by Medicare.
Gel injections for your knees? 1 set (I think) per knee per year covered by Medicare. It usually requires 2 or 3 shots as a single treatment.
