Hello

paul93

My husband has arthitis and is waiting for surgery, Total knee replacement for left knee. He had his right knee done in 2018. My husband gets so fatigued everyday because his knee is sore, uncomfortable and he cannot walk far now.

It stops us going out sometimes and I go out alone which I'm sad about.

I wanted to join to get support from others in similar situation.

Hi @paul93

Paula lovely to meet you welcome to the forum from me too.

It's tough for your husband being tired and in pain. He probably feels like he is letting you down when his arthritis restricts your life together.

But it must be tough on you too I'd hate having to do stuff on my own. I hope you'll decide to stay here and join in with us. We are a very supportive group and will help you any way we can.

Take care

Thank you Toni,

It's more tough for my husband as there is no let up with the fatigue and pain of his knee.

I try and put a smile on my face but it's hard sometimes.
