Bad Flare up and Wedding to Attend

The osteoarthritis in my right knee has flared a couple of days ago so I am hobbling around and taking maximum pain med’s with limited effect. I usually manage my condition well and am fit and healthy otherwise, this is just very unfortunate as it does happen occasionally. I have a wedding of a friend to attend tomorrow with my son and was wondering whether to go? I don’t want to ruin the happy occasion because I am struggling with controlling my pain. It is also a long day 12pm to midnight with periods of sitting which doesn’t always bode well for the pain in my knee. Has anybody else been in a similar situation for a social event?

    Hi @yogamad

    I would just go and enjoy the day for as long as you can. Your friend won't mind if you have to leave early, it's not mandatory to stay until the end and they will appreciate your attendance for however long you feel up to staying
