I am very tired of more being taken from me each day.

My mobility is slightly decreasing more each day I wake up. My knees are worsening. They ache nonstop now. My hips are also aching as well as my lower back. My sciatic nerve is pinched again on the left as it always gets pinched in that same spot. I think the chiropractor said it was something with my neck that tends to fuel this. My neck always snaps the loudest.

My kneecaps are bruised in a few places. My ankles are swollen. I barely made it through the store today. I'm tired of being able to do less and less. I was raised with the mentality of you must contribute or you are worthless. I've been working and earning my keep from a young age. It kills me to become useless and worthless. If I cannot contribute I'm nothing.

I can relate to most of that. I've had arthritis since my mid 20s. It was so bad 2 years ago, that I was considering moving the bedroom down to the 1st floor. I was having scary difficulty with staircases. Then, last year, during the lockdown, my symptoms miraculously eased up, and I haven't had trouble other than swollen ankles during heatwaves. I wish I had an answer for your problem, but I don't even know how mine got resolved.
