Thank you for adding me to your group. I’ve had chronic pain since I was dx’ed with fibromyalgia 20 years ago. I also have osteoarthritis, and will have knee replacement surgery in June. I don’t feel sorry for myself because of the pain. I exercise, go for walks, and stay busy. Being active really does help with fighting fibromyalgia pain for me. I am an RN with a hubs and 5 boys. Three are grown and two at home.

@pattykakes Well you go girl! I love your outlook and attitude. I suppose being an RN and momma to 5 boys gives you a fighting spirit. I admire you because I know the struggle can be real. Exercising and keeping busy is key. Good for you.

Will it be your first knee replacement surgery? My husband had his first TKR last year at age 56 after pushing it off for too long. He regretted waiting so long because having surgery was the best thing he could have done for himself.
I'd like to introduce you to my fellow mentor and friend, Chris @artscaping. She had a TKR and may be helpful, should you have any questions going forward.
