\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m at the end of my rope. Both of my knees hurt. I used to be an active, fit woman. I did aquafit. I walked every day. I can\u2019t do any of that anymore. I walk with a cane. I have trouble getting up. My ankles hurt. And my lower back hurts because my condition is deteriorating. I\u2019m 78 years old.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tI need surgery. I can\u2019t take it anymore. I can\u2019t live like this. I\u2019m depressed. I\u2019m in pain, day and night. I\u2019m constantly falling. I\u2019m scared of breaking my hip. I\u2019ve been waiting for a knee replacement for over a year. I live alone.

\n\t\t\t\tMy arthrosis is draining me. And it deteriorated so fast. I have a very hard time walking. Sure, I do yoga and meditation, but\u2026 All my friends are sporty.

Some of them have difficulty working. Or they can\u2019t work at all and have no way to make a living. Some suffer from depression. End up divorced. Take opioids all day.<\/p>\n

And if we wait too long, they\u2019ll never regain their mobility. We need to fight for them! That\u2019s why I\u2019m calling on you.
