Hi Ditter, a whirlpool tub would be great for you, I use to have a hot tub, that I used for a long time, and it helped alot, but after I had my back surgery I couldn't use it anymore, couldn't get up out of it, I also have had both knees replaced. If you don't don't have a problem getting in and out of it that would be a great thing for you and it would help your pain alot. Hope you get yourself one and that it will help your pain. Hope you will have a great day with out pain. HUGS
