Living with arthritis: How do you stay active?

postpone surgery as long as possible. The doctors don't tell you that Arthritis attacks scar tissue around the replaced joint and you will still suffer from the pain.

I think this is my issue....I wear a compression hose that goes to my thigh and it helps during the day but at night I wake back and leg pain. It's gotten significantly worse since my knee replacement that I was told I had to have. My knee per se doesn't hurt but all the muscles and areas around it are sore and the more I do the worse it feels. I don't know what to do and am tired of hurting all the time. Can't take nsaids, pain meds constipate me terribly, and not sure if pain mgmt can help me. PT helps but I can't stay in it continually and I do the exercises at home. I'd love an answer. I am 16 month out on a TKR.
