Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I had hip replaced two years ago which offered some relief but both my knees, the other hip, shoulders and back are afflicted. The hardest part for me is not being able to get around to do the things I need to do and becoming dependent on others. I sometimes feel not only trapped in my own home but trapped in my painful body as well.

I have learned to live somewhat with the chronic ache. It eases somewhat in the warmer weather but it is always there and my movement is always curtailed.

I take a plethora of herbal supplements which help a bit Probably a placebo effect

Lots of folks don't understand the depth of the pain of this kind of arthritis and think it can be alleviated by two aleves.

Feel free to PM me....We are in a similar place

PS: I had the injections in my knees. Helped a bit. But not a long lasting impact.
