Not coping

Tpotty84

Hiya, currently have arthritis in both feet/ankles & hips - not coping with pain!! I have widespread pain elsewhere & really not coping, so much so it's ruining my r'ship. Any help, support, friendly ear would be most welcome.

I'm COMPLETELY bonkers & love my pets & just want to be as close to a "normal" 37yo as possible.......

Hi @Tpotty84, welcome to the online community! It's lovely to have you here.

I see that you're living with widespread pain and arthritis of the feet, ankles, and hips. It's normal to not feel "normal" but you've come to the right place for advice or just a chat with people who know exactly where you're coming from. Here are a few links that I think you might find helpful to get you started:

• Relationships and arthritis: how to strike a healthy balance
• What helps hip pain?
• Osteoarthritis (OA) of the foot and ankle

Please do stick around on the online community, it's good to talk :)
