I don’t do social events anymore or even go shopping at the mall. I feel very cheated. My many issues came in less than 8 months. I am facing another surgery, the first of two on my foot. After that the left foot. I really don’t even want to wake up from surgery. Can’t live this way! I am 72, so close to your age. Vent anytime. I wish you peace!

RA is the culprit,
Talk to your Rheumatologist or Primary Care Doctor about an x-ray every year to see if your nodules are growing or staying the same. I am having them each year. Good luck!,

SJKUPETS...I know exactly how you feel...no social life...hate going to bed because of the pain and hate just trying to get out of bed with all the accompanying pain that comes every single morning...no self esteem...have wear my knee braces most of every day... just don't know what to do, like you I want quality of life, not quantity. I can't bend over, can't squat, can't kneel, can't walk any distance, can't stand for any length of time...not having much fun at all. I'm an embarrassment to my only daughter and her husband and my 2 grandchildren. Spend way too much time alone...will be 73 in a few days...Thx for listening...I'm willing to try or do anything in order to get some sort of life back.
