in Living with arthritis

This is my first post. I was diagnosed in 2022 with osteoarthritis and then kyphosis, which sadly its too late to treat. Physio didn't help either. My question is I have over the last 2 years become much worse. I have more arthritis in lots of areas of my body. My breathing is now being affected by the kyphosis. Who do I see first to confirm what is happening? Or do I see doctor and they refer me. The pain is getting worse all the time. I also use a stick for balance. I have an asthma specialist sorting that side, but no expert for the O.A and kyphosis.
