I'm a mess. I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and my right knee is f*ked. It has been for 18 months and it will never be fixed. No more cartilage, bone on bone. Osteoarthritis. I've had injections, PT and my Dr. has given up. My PT has also given up. I'm too young for a knee replacement but that is in my future.

So I get it. I'll never run again. The problem is now I can't even walk for more than 15 minutes without it being sore. No level of activity is comfortable. Swimming hurts for crying out loud. I'm trying to just deal with it and walk everywhere anyway but it gets really painful by the end of the day.

Anyone find some level of relief from a similar diagnosis? Should I just suck it up buttercup and keep moving or should I give up and accept I'm not able to be active at all anymore?

(I won't even ask for help with my plantar fasciitis, I know that is awful to fix but I'm doing all the usual stuff.)
