Just wondering and new here

hi all
I’m new here , was diagnosed with arthritis fibromyalgia and hyper mobility,
been struggling for years now to no avail
Been pain management, I eat healthy do lots self help,
But at my wits end so much pain I can’t even open a packet of crisp!
but x rays show only mild , feels so extreme to me .
Any help advice would be so much appreciated,
Always had very manual jobs I’m only 54 feels like I’m 90 🤣
Luckily I still have my sense of humour
Hugs

Good that the arthritis is mild, and hope it stays that way. You've got enough to deal with, with the fibromyalgia and hypermobility. I hope you do find ways to be able to manage those better, and get the pain under better control.
