This one is also helping both Jane and me…a home traction for lower back that ought to be safe if used as directed. It’s from Teeter, the people that make the inverse table hanging thingie, so I figured it had to be other than a crackpot gadget. It’s far less expensive, about 50.00; you have to lie on your back on the floor with feet on a chair, knees bent as if you were sitting. You thread this roller thingie onto your legs, you take hold of the handles and push down, and simultaneously try to relax your back (not easy!) You hold for about half a minute, then release half a minute, and repeat this several times. You don’t feel pressure in your back, or not much of anywhere, but it is providing a little bit what hanging upside down would do, without the stress on the rest of your body and accumulation of blood in your brain.

I’m not as agile as I used to be, so I ask Jane’s help to arrange the thingie. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G9GAA76?ref_=ams_ad_dp_asin_1
But it helps a lot. Upper leg pain is sometimes not hip pain, but lower back pain referred sideways; and in our cases, seems to be. It relieves it, and the unit is cheaper than one visit to the chiropractor to have much the same.
