Hi there,
I’ve been trying to stop thinking about the fact that I may have arthritis in my hips - I used to run and they have been flaring up over the years and the signs match up with osteo arthritis. My hips are shaped a bit differently so it hurts and grinds/clunks and hurt when I walk now whereas they didn’t use to.
Despite seeing a physio for the past few months and doing all of the exercises I need to do, they are still sore (less pain but still things going on) and I know it could be a lot worse and I’m lucky to be able to swim and walk a bit, I suppose I’m just anxious about it getting worse (or staying the same).
Maybe I could take up some new interests or something, to keep distracted. I used to be into fitness and now I’m not able to exercise as much and am also nervous about the consequences of this too... It’s end of year holidays so work and study have finished for the next couple of weeks and maybe my brain is trying to fill in all the free time.
Anyway, thanks for reading this and it would be a great help if anyone knows how to ‘let go’ of or ‘stop caring’ about stuff, especially when it could be there lifelong.
