I am truly sorry about your arthritic hips. 9 year olds can keep you on the go.
Don't hide your pain from them. There may be many little ways in which they can help? I hope so. santa

Hello and welcome from me, too.

Arthritis plus children is a difficult combination. I did it many years ago and wouldn't like to try it again. I suggest you read up on 'Managing Arthritis', on the toolbar above. It's full of good tips and advice. It has been shown that keeping the weight down, a good Mediterranean diet, exercising regularly and not smoking all help. Also, do feel free to talk to us here because we do understand.

Hello fellow bilateral arthritic hip haver. I don't really have too much advice to embellish on what the others have said as I'm new here too, but welcome!
