@kimmyb Hello, welcome to Connect, so glad you've joined us. I'm sorry you struggle with so much. You'll find comfort, support and encouragement here, as well as knowing that you are not alone in your pain journey.
Usually, "bone on bone" means knee replacement surgery, but you say you can't have them fixed, why is that?
I agree with your friends about not talking about pain. They are actually doing you a favor by not encouraging talking about symptoms. The best kind of distraction is to free our minds of pain, albeit temporarily. I love that your doctor encouraged playing phone games! Not all docs think outside of the box, yours is a good one. Mahjong, huh? Do you like it?
