Hi @Bricklayersarms65, welcome to the online community! It's great to have you here.
I see that you are dealing with knee and hip pain and you're having difficulty walking, and I understand that you find your symptoms worsen after a day of work as a bricklayer.

Has your employer made any accommodations for your condition? This link has some information about working with arthritis, including your rights, where to get support, and a specific section on physically demanding jobs:
In the meantime, I encourage you to browse the community and feel free to get involved in any discussion you like. It can be helpful to talk with people who share similar experiences 🙂.
Best wishes,
