Hello @Helb1803 welcome to the online community

We are glad you found us and I hope that one of our members who have had joint fusion like you will be able to share their experiences with you . We are a friendly group offering a safe place to share our experiences of living with arthritis and I hope you will find it is the same for you.

Meanwhile I attach some links which I hope you will find helpful

Swimming and cycling are also non load bearing forms of exercise and might help give you the opportunity of exercise and distraction and potentially pain relief ( if this is a concern for you at the moment).

We look forward to hearing from you soon

Best wishes
