I only ask as I am getting more and more pain that my doctors can't seem to diagnose, (the one ailment per visit doesn't help) so I will post my symptoms here and live with the pain you rissoles will give me 
I spend most of my day on my 4rse with my laptop (you guessed) and apart from some tummy discomfort that I have had for decades I am not in ANY pain at all, but if I go into the kitchen bathroom or bedroom and don't come back and sit down within a few minutes I start to get severe pain (no it's not Liz, although having said that...) then I'm fine again within minutes.
I have type 2 which to me is where it starts.
The pain starts fairly quickly once I'm on my feet (I do physio already) I can get to my destination more or less okay, so I can put the kettle on then I will generally have to sit somewhere handy.
If I just stand and lean agianst the worktop it does slow it down slightly but I'm still stood, so not for very long.
If I need to walk/stand it starts lightly in my left hip, it then starts radiate out & down into my thigh, it gets bored doing that and then progresses up in to my left back, and this is new today >>> it then moves into my lower chest and start to go around my back.
As Liz is feeling very down with this throat infection and she's not good on snow either I volunterred to do a bit of shoppin in Sainsburys, milk n buttter etc, By the time I'd gone down on eand then realised I had forgotten the butter and got back there, it was excruciating, I had to find a seat, so shoe sect it was. I sat there for a while then headed for the self service checkout as it was empty & of course there was a problem that brought the red light on so I sat on the out bench until the one staff arrived and pressed a button, she informed my that I shouldn't sit there (%*&&^^) so shopping done and in real pain still I went into the cafe and had a free coffee, (I am not standing around waiting for staff to see there is a customer) no one came to take my money.
So back in the car and rest, drive home then due to snow it's almost impossible to walk and it a hill and I went down twice yesterday, not on my hip.
I get home and I have two heavy bags, and two 4 pintas of milk to get across the road (Drive snowed in) and up several very uneven deep and tall winding stone steps, I rang Liz from the bottom and got the usual reply IE none so had to do it on my own, so two trips up and one back down, by this time I am really struggling to just not stop and scream, my right lag is struggling now as it is taking all the strain, the left leg is shaking like a shiting dog and I can't physically move it, I had to sit on the wet steps for a while, I eventually got inside and sat in the conservatory for ages, I'd left the shopping outside.
I've given a description more to describe my actual movements than anything else.
When I had an MRI about 2017 for my prostate the saw what they thought was possibly Spinal stenosis, to be honest I'm not inclined to think that, although it could be.
Anyway do your best/worst.
