Hello @Madge2

I am glad you have found this online community. We are a supportive group of people and will answer your queries and I hope you will find it useful to be able to interact with others.

You don't say much in your first post but most of us with arthritis find walking a difficult and painful experience. It's important to balance rest with exercise and to get pain relief when needed. I am posting a couple of pieces of information below which should be a useful start for you, but do tell us more and we will be able to target our help better!
