Hello @Doris75

Welcome to the versus Arthritis online Community.

I see you are really struggling with pain and have had a recent diagnosis of Osteoarthritis in both knees. You have come to the right place for help and advice, our members have lots of experience between them all. While you wait for someone to come along I want to share a couple of links which might be useful to read:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/managing-symptoms/managing-your-pain/

and

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/conditions/osteoarthritis-of-the-knee/

I have been moderating here for many years and want to attach a link to an 'old' member (historically speaking not age-wise!) who had bilateral knee surgery:

I am unsure when @Helenbothknees last visited the site, but you might find it useful to read her posts.

Best wishes

Ellen.
