I probably have arthritis too @Shaz51 . The back MRI showed arthropathy as well as other things. I tried a liniment patch on my knee last night.

Yeah lower back pain and shoulder pain @Shaz51 mainly from too much sitting! I really gotta get in to see a physio but I wanna find a neurodiverse-friendly one, so they can help me understand and provide options that are actually doable for me

@Jynx I've been impressed by my osteopath. I think they may be more holistic than physios but still have clinical expertise.

Oh true @Dimity I'll check it out. I think my biggest thing is the need to understand what is going on in my body, not just 'oh here's an exercise to do, seeya!'
