@trayus You are like most of us that are living with arthritis or other pain. It isn't going away so we have to adjust the amount of time we do things but one thing that will help is for all of us to start slowly and do some stretching then light exercise I do 45 min. a day to keep my bones from getting stiff and also my muscles as I have fibromyalgia also. Old age isn't for sissies . We cant do things we use to do but you can still enjoy them but know your limits . Tell the person you play with in ping pong that you arthritis wont let you make those sharp turns. Its an adjustment we all have to make. Good luck

@trayus, I hear you. I also reached the point where altering my activities reached it's max. Eventually, and unfortunately, I also hit a point where I could no longer modify and was up against the proverbial wall. For me, that was when the decision became almost easy to make. My choice became hope the surgery gives me less pain and a bit more mobility, or proceed in pain and certain less mobility. Even the best friends and family may have a hard time understanding the grind physical pain and limitations can be. I was lucky to have physicians and providers who flat out told me that I alone would know when the time is right and had to be the one to make the decision.
