Have you looked inro red light therapy for your arthritis? My pain doc at UCSF recommended the Usuie brand (it is what she uses.) and the price is reasonable compared to some of the other brands. They have a good return policy. Consistency is the key. Can’t hurt to try for 20 days and return i you do not find improvement.
I’m 72. I’m concerned, in aging, about ageism as I age. I am pretty active and hope to remain so like my friends in their 80s. I think that both my parents were treated with a lower standard of care when they were in their mid 80s. No proof, just a feeling I have.

Same for parents. The nursing home literally killed him. Literally. And agism is real. I turned 70 last week. And having been disabled since I was 24, im totally afraid of SSA getting D/C'd. But I won't be the only elderly person living on the street. And the doctors who mostly practice replacing joints on the elderly will also no longer be employed. Such shortsightedness. Without medicare and the ACA, I wonder if even Mayo would remain standing. Fear on top of all of it is unfair and also top down ageism and ableism. Sorry but at some point we need to be able to talk about this defining moment.
