ROTFLMAO!
(I like this guy!) I hear you, but if I did that, I'd be without a therapist! (Therapy Dog

Try putting your pants on from a seated position -- chair or edge of bed.
I agree with what the others have said. Have you tried Tai Chi for stretching? I found a routine that folks like us can do from a seated position -- less stressful on bad backs.
If you can find one there, a
certified myofascial trigger point therapist may be of help. Have your girlfriend go with you. If the therapist can help, your girlfriend can learn what to do to continue to save money & visits (that's what my wife & I did.)
Generally, muscles like heat; nerves like ice/cold. Use ice only for 20 minutes at a time, no matter how good it feels.
