I'd feel safe recommending these to you.
Is it just "old age" or do you have arthritis?

I'd say try them and you will know if they help or not.

yeah, I still can't kneel, so in the garden i bend - which the therapists told is bad for my back, but what can I do?
NOT gardening is not an option.

so I bend a little, then I stretch..

btw, you might be interested in this for yr garden-
