Living with osteoarthritis

Secretgarden39

I have good days and that means I can get out in my garden, do some baking, walk my dogs (very slowly and using a stick ). I have to be careful as my body has its limits and trigger.

I have bad days and that means my body is not happy and I get chronic mobility issue, unbelievable pain and discomfort and I become house bound. That makes you feel alone and I have no one who suffers to talk to. Then I found this group today and joined straight away, so hello everyone, I look forward to chatting with you 😀
