New Hello *waves*

I have been having trouble with knees since my teens & recently got diagnosed with OA in both knees after finally admitting the pain was getting the better of me! I have since had to give up my job a a care worker as the people I was visiting were needing less care than I was haha! Work were very good & kept reducing hours, giving me longer breaks between calls etc but I found towards the end I couldn't drive more than 3 miles & I was in agony! I had to also let my car go as pointless when I can't drive it paying for road tax, insurance etc! So I have been sat at home piling the pounds on :( I was never a small girl in the 1st place! I am still waiting for my initial physio appointment to find out what I can & can't do exercise wise without doing more damage to my joints & I struggle to walk anywhere as I am in so much pain all the time, hoping to gain a few friends here in the same boat & loose quite a few pounds in the process :)
