That's a miserable situation for you. There's some useful information about arthritis, how to self-manage and various options on the website arthritisaction.org.uk and you can call them to talk over things

The Living with Arthritis section on the site might be very helpful to you.

Do you have a GP with whom you can discuss your difficulties? Who can refer you to a physio, OT (for information about household aids, how to do things etc.), or even a pain clinic?
