Hi @carol1903 It's lovely to meet you and welcome you to the online Community.
I understand from your post that you are feel abandoned and are struggling a lot with knee and leg pain. Arthritis can be very isolating as can many long term conditions unfortunately.
Fortunately you don't need to go out to chat to people here😊
While you are waiting for someone to come along and reply to you I would like to add a couple of links which might be interesting to you:
and you say your mood is low here are some stories by other people who have Arthritis and how they cope:
Have you thought about contacting our helplines? It might help to have a voice to speak to.
Sorry to bombard you with so much information, but there may be a Versus Arthritis group near you where mobility would not be an issue:
Very best wishes
Ellen.

Hi Carol.
Welcome to the forum, I'm new myself here.
I feel the same way. Many don't understand how arthritis truly affects a person. You're made to feel an inconvenience. Others get more sympathy for stubbing their toe 😂

Welcome from me too @carol1903
You are no longer alone you have US!
Definitely think about the versus Arthritis groups if there's one near enough for you. Contact them they may even have transport 🤞
