Heating pads are good too. I can't really take a useful bath at home, so it's heating pads there.
Best thing about San Diego might actually be the tubs. I'm loving being able to take a bath.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, I miss baths.
Heating pads are nice. Wish I cold get one to solve my congestion issues.
eta *could. Geeesh, I really shouldn't type with a snotty brain.
Oh, baths are gooooood. Stretch, massage and hot water - best things for hips.
My hip pain isn't muscle pain, I don't think. It's more twingey stuff in the joint itself. That's different from what you guys are talking about, right? It's the thing that's worse during various points of my menstrual cycle and also before storms.
I've got tendonitis, actually. And hormonal changes can totally mess things up for me. When the tendons flare and get inflamed and mad, it spirals. So there's muscular and everything but it starts with the tendons and goes to hell.
And it goes in and out of alignment in the socket.
Good stuff.
I miss the rheumatologist that I trusted to stick a needle full of steroids in. The shots sucked and ached for a couple of days but steroids are scary magical for a while.
Pix, why no baths?
No bathtub.
A good friend renovated her house last year. She has a terrific talent and made it absolutely gorgeous.
BUT, she did, with malice and forethought, replace all her bathtubs. I can't even imagine that. I use the bathtub so much and for so many things I'm baffled by not wanting one around.
The question of resale value popped into my mind as well, but apparently tub dumping is all the rage these days.
