    Hi @9tl4b :) I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some aches and pains in your legs. According to the NHS website:
    There are lots of different types of arthritis.

    The symptoms you experience will vary depending on the type you have.

    This is why it's important to have an accurate diagnosis if you have:
    • joint pain, tenderness and stiffness
    • inflammation in and around the joints
    • restricted movement of the joints
    • warm red skin over the affected joint
    • weakness and muscle wasting
    It must be frustrating to feel as though your doctor didn't seem bothered by the symptoms you said you were experiencing. Are you receiving any treatment for your arthritis?
