hi guys! I’m Janey how is everyone?

I’m Janey and I’m 50!

I’m an nhs worker struggling to come to terms with wonky knees and my future.

can anyone help? I don’t think I’ve struggled so much in my life. I’m completely broken at the moment. Sorry for being so dramatic. I have the most supportive hubby but he’s completely broken watching me struggle. 🥴

I too have been through this and still going through it. I don't have a magic wand but the process I went through was almost like grief. Please take one day at a time. Celebrate the small wins. At first, I did a lot of googling my disease. I followed the AIP Protocol diet and worked out that some success with working out which nightshades were my nemesis. I've continued going to the gym doing aqua aerobics at least 4 times a week. I've just joined the Joint Programme, which is free for anyone who registers.

I found this group and one on FB helpful. My pain is still there in the background. But, I'm trying really hard to take my life back little by little. Please do reach out if you have any further questions.

Thanks hun for ur response!

I guess I’m just struggling, I’ve tried so hard to keep fit and healthy (lost 6.5 stone) worked out 4 times a week & watched my diet, I guess I feel like I’ve been kicked in the teeth as I’ve just had an MRI that has said I’ve re-torn my meniscus 3 months after having surgery for it. It seems no matter how hard I try……10 steps forward and 15 back. 🥴😝
