I am becoming increasingly disabled by oseoarthritis and I'm having a hard time coming to terms with how much pain and how little mobility I now have.

Hi @libbydim
A very very big welcome to you this afternoon.

Hello @libbydim and a warm welcome to the community. Very, very sorry to hear about your circumstances. They are not something I can comment about on the basis of any personal experience - I have been very lucky, and know it - but you might find it worthwhile visiting our 'Dealing with chronic pain' thread and having a look at some of the conversations there. If there are some with which you can join in it will put you in touch with others who have similar experiences.
Otherwise, please don't hesitate to tell us anything or ask us anything that might help us to be of use to you.
Warmest best wishes,
@JennysDad
