Arthritis depression

hi there, am riddled with arthritis in my neck. it sure does not help with your depressive illness, it sucks actually. all i can do is stretch and keep loose. walking is a pain, but it does help, i am also on a stick due to a slipped disk in my back and due to diabetes affecting my feet and eyes. am vision impaired. sorry, getting back on track, are you taking any sort of pain relief, it does help some. keep talking with your doctor. sorry for rambling. i am sure you will receive some excellent feedback from other members soon. keep posting, we care.

with healing compassion,
jamie

Arthritis has been a factor in my life for a long time. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knees when I was 12. It was hard to accept. My mom made me quit basketball which I loved.
Now I have arthritis in my si joint, shoulders, and wrists. Its aggravating. I can't pick my kids up. Some days I can't even blowdry my hair.
I go to therapy for depression and I'm in physical therapy for my knees and shoulders. It helps to feel like I'm doing something about the pain.
Jamie is right. Feel free to come here and rant, it can help. This place is full of great, helpful people.

Hey Angelic_Victory sorry to know about the pain you are through. It’s good to know that you have found some powerful way to deal with depression and tell you, physical therapies would be of great help if you follow them in a proper manner. I also totally agree with you that this is a good place to get the answers from different users and also I must tell you they are helpful.
