@gingerw I haven't been doing many stretches recently because of my knee. the pain keeps moving around but I can tell it's coming from my knee. It's so frustrating that we can't see our Drs or our physios at the moment. I did have a good video appointment with my dermatologist last week. It was kind of neat. I had to connect to the medical video 10 minutes before my appointment and when I had connected, I was put in 'the waiting room' . I didn't have to wait too long and then my Dr's face appeared. It was like face time. It doesn't work too well for examining a knee. I think your knee maybe worse than mine but I would like some therapy. Good luck with yours. I am trying to avoid moves that hurt but I am still walking. I am 80 on Thursday. I can't believe it. Keep up the good work everybody.

@jude07 @pollyanne and @contentandwell It is osteoarthritis plus bone spurs in my right knee. The arthritis was first diagnosed at least 10 years ago [I recall the orthopedic surgeon telling me I was too young to have it, and also it affects my hands]. There have been steroid injections that don't work. Recent x-rays now show floating bone spurs, which really explain a lot! Some days it is fine to walk and move, other days, not so good.
@becsbuddy, I am trying to get my walking in and keeping to your topic! This quarantining is good to help refocus on healthy habits like walking and taking care of ourselves.
