Hello @FaerieQueen welcome to the online community
You are experiencing a lot of pain in your foot, knee and hip and have recently been diagnosed with OA.
We are glad you found us because you are now part of a friendly supportive group who have probably all felt the same as you when newly diagnosed. The pain of OA can be quite overwhelming at times and some members have shared their tips on how they use distractions to help them cope. So do take time to browse round the community maybe start with the Living with Arthritis section. Meanwhile I attach some links which I hope you will find helpful

We are all being encouraged to exercise to keep our muscles and joints as flexible and mobile as possible so I hope you find the videos , lots of our members find them really helpful.
We look forward to hearing from you again soon
Take care
