thank you for your reply .
look forward to hearing your progress .
I agree the exercise is important. I have been doing regular weight training with an exercise physiologist and am also doing the Onero program with a physiotherapist and a Pilates program with a different physio and walk at least 6km each day up and day hills - on average spending at least 1 hour every day on exercise plus my own home exercises.
As I also have osteoarthritis I need to keep moving
