my body hurts and I'm scared

[map_of_the_world]

I dont want to be disabled, I dont want to have to live with joint pain, I dont want to have to plan my day depending on how far i can walk. I dont know what this is, probably its arthritis, but whatever it is it doesnt mater because it hurts and it isnt going to stop hurting, I have had leg pain for three years now and it gets steadily worse. soon enough standing still for any amount of time at all is going to be an imposibility which means I will have to take my crutches everywhere,all the time which is tiring and a pain in the arse because the world isnt designed for people with crutches

No, the world isn't designed for people on crutches. Displays are everywhere in stores, and that's just one aspect of the difficulty.
I hope that your pain can be helped in some way. It's terrible to be in pain.

PS Have you tried Glucosamine? It's from shellfish and it comes in a pill form and it works really well to rebuild the cartilage of the joints.

I did research glucosamine but I cant take it because I have PCOS which causes insulin resistance and leaves me at a really big risk of type 2 diabetes and glucosamine is really bad for that. I take hemp seed oil capsules though which do help a lot

I had no idea that glucosamine was bad for Type 2 diabetes. I was just diagnosed in May, but it is still reversible at this point so I'm doing my best. Anyway, I can't take glucosamine either because I'm allergic to shellfish. One other supplement you may have researched that I do take- MSM. It's a biological sulfur. I've noticed it really helps me with pain, and it helps joints, the liver, and the digestive tract too.

Probably not for the same reason, and probably not the same problem exactly, but my Mum has a lot of these feelings, and I know how upset she gets. I wish I had a magic solution but, sadly, I don't.

I hope tomorrow is better.

Nettles are supposed to be good for osteoarthritis.
