in Living with arthritis

Afternoon all, I am new to this so forgive me if I babble on,

I was first told I had arthritisabout 5 years ago at that point it was Mr Carvin you need a new hip, it was to far gone to have injections and stuff. 4 years later I got my new hip, whilst waiting I was told I need a new right hipto far gone to have any other treatment, whilst I am still waiting for my right hip nearly a year, i have now been told i need a new right knee, (you got it to far gone) so i am waiting for right hip to be done at Torbay hospital, and the right knee is getting done at Mount Stuart, now MS have said they are ready to do right knee but cannot do it until such time as the right hip has been done, (still no date) im in a catch 22. I have been on various meds over the last 5 years , currently on Tapentadol, Gabapentin, Paracetamol and Naproxen, seem to be doing nothing anything else I can try???

I am also waiting to see physio to tell me my left knee requires replacing.

As you can imagine I am struggling both mentally and physically, still working as cannot live off of SSP.

ANY IDEAS 💡
