newbie here having a problem How do I get over to my other half that I can’t do what I used to be able to do. I am waiting for 2 knee replacements plus other artritic problems in hand and one toe. But if I ask for help it’s why can’t you do it It’s mainly diy like decorating. I am terrified to get up a ladder and if I get on floor takes me ages to get back up I’m not made of money and can’t afford to pay people Does anyone else have these problems

    Hi @kathy1957

    Welcome to the versus arthritis forum.

    I can't directly relate to the issues you're facing myself but I hope you receive some useful input from forum members who have perhaps found themselves in a similar position.

    Another option, you may wish to consider, is to contact our help desk if you think it would be useful to talk things through.

    Best wishes
