I've had MP for about 5 years. Only recently has it gotten painful though. Working 4 or 5 hour shifts constantly on my feet at work are almost impossible to get through. I went to an orthopedic and she advised me to stop sitting cross-legged (which I do all the time). Any second advice on if that really is an irritant? She also prescribed oral steroids, and doing some research it seems like they won't do much good and I'm hesitant to take them. Any advice on that as well?

Thanks!
