Hello everyone

theoaphippie13

hi everyone, i'm new here so a big hello, i have recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my hips although i have suffered for many years, i'm at the beginning of my journey with the whole benefit system as i have had to take redundancy from my job, which i loved, so am a little bit lost with it all. Hoping to a more informed person as regards to arthritis.🤗
