Hi im mandy I'm housebound and use a wheelchair chair I am in pain everyday and every night it never leaves me it's all cause I was in a very violent relationship from the age of 13 wen I was 22.that is wen he put me in a wheelchair that day was the day my life ended I have no family as I wasn't wanted I was dumped around  my partners house at. 13 from one hell to the next I'm in bed 24/7 in shear agony. But I'm still hear fighting so never give up I pray everyday that one day I will walk again I am 46 the severe ostio arthritis has spread from the injury to other joints in my knees I have no muscle mass and bone is growing over bone and now wen I move the leg I have to do it slow one wrong move and it feel like the bones are breaking and wen I get up to go to the bathroom it sounds like someone crushing a crisp packet the hospital says its too late now to operate that they are to badly damaged and say I have to live this way till I die.

    Hi @mandy322 - & welcome to the community, Mandy. Thank you for joining & telling us all a little about yourself. You've been through so much, & living with the consequences, but all credit to you for retaining your positivity, & being a fighter.
    Have you had any help from Drs, physios, a musculoskeletal team, had a needs assessment: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/getting-a-needs-assessment/  which you can do yourself, to get some help & support?

    Hi @mandy322 welcome to the forum. I'm so sorry that you were treated so bad in child hood and your partner doing this to you, it's really terrible and now you have to live life suffering.
    I hope your partner got done for this. 
    You sound very positive saying never give up bless you. 
    But your right, your so right as not giving up gives you strength. 
    Do you have care or anyone helping you. If not sounds like you might benefit from carers at least.

    You have come to the right forum to get emotional support and advice. Plus to make friends. There is always someone here to talk to. 

    Have you seen physiotherapy recently

    Here is a lot of love to you. Never give up. Life is a bit of a battle sometimes but you have to kick it where it hurts. So never give up. You may never believe this but things get better one way or the other. x
