Hello everyone,

Bending is painful due to my lower back. I also find using my left hand can be difficult depending on the task, ie washing dishes, typing etc due to wrist problems.

Walking down the stairs, bending my knees and peeling and chopping potatoes and hard vegetables due to arthritis in my fingers

@Tazzbar @Smudger @Sandykg @wednesday @lesmal @nineteen_gale Thank you all for sharing. Osteoarthritis seems like such a difficult condition that really impacts patients quality of life :/

Do other members find any tasks in particular difficult?

@MorganMistwalker I find walking very difficult and my left wrist does not work at all, unfortunately I am left handed so cannot write either!
