Hello @JaneHammacott56 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that that will be your experience as well.
You do not say how arthritis affects you - normally we would suggest some information which might be of help to you on our website. If you would like to know more then can I suggest having a look around and using the search as well. In the meantime I've put in a couple of links below that you might find interesting.
Please do keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and if there is anything in particular you would like more info on, e.g. hands, hips, knees etc.
With very best wishes
Peter

Hi @Helen63 and welcome to the Online Community.
I understand that you have a diagnosis of osteoarthritis in your hips after previously struggling to get this identified correctly. The pain and stress has affected you such that you have had to give up work and now feel isolated and depressed.
Living in Manchester, you will find a number of support groups around, the nearest possibly being that for South Manchester.
Our web site has some great information both on osteoarthritis of the hip
and on managing feelings and your emotional wellbeing:
Please do get in touch with our Helpline if you would like to talk to someone in person or start a new discussion: you are most welcome to post across the Community and to join in with any other conversations.
All best wishes
Brynmor
