Hello dcl79, it's nice to meet you tho I am sorry you have had to find us. I have no advice as such, although I have OA in my knees (and I think my ankles) and an inflammatory arthritis (PA) I do not have Lymes Disease. Exercise is usally recommended for OA but how that applies to your affected areas I do not know. Perhaps a discussion with your GP would help - they treat OA and should be clued up about this. I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Yep, I'll say a few things, whatever you do to enjoy yourself, keep doing it, whatever exercise you like, keep doing it, whatever interests you have in life, keep doing them. You may have to modify the way you do things, just don't stop or you will regret it and your body will be in a slow decline which doesn't do much for your mental state. OA is just an illness not a way of life!0
