Im looking for support and help.

Hi Claire @clairecon141 lovely to meet you and welcome you to the online community.

I read from your post that you have arthritis in your knee which is getting worse and has buckled as well.

I know you have had your condition for 4 years, but I think it's still worth having a read of this article:

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

Particularly the section entitled 'Managing Osteoarthritis of the knee' it talks a quite a bit about mobility which sounds as though might be becoming an issue for you.

I don't know whether you are interested in joining in with some of the gentle stretches and exercises devised especially for those of is with arthritis, but if you are you can have a look here:

Best wishes
