Hi @michaela70,

Welcome to the Online Community. You've come to the right place to talk about your osteoarthritis and hopefully you will find others to support you and share their tips on living with osteoarthritis.

Sorry to hear that you will have to wait such a long time for your surgery. We know it can be really difficult to live with the pain of arthritis. Below I have posted some information that might help you for now but do post again if you have any more questions or need more support.
