Hello, all, 🖐️

I have just joined this community after looking on the website for information on Osteoarthritis. I stumbles across the volunteer section as see you are requiring moderators for the forum. 🤗

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis at the age of 46 in 2012 in my right knee and last couple of years in my left knee now its starting in my feet . Now at 56 I find myself now spending more time at home these days than going out due to not being able to walk very far. 😒

Kindest Regards

Lorraine
