Athritis

I have chronic arthritis and I don't want medical advice before anyone says anything because I have been living with it for four years now. It's just I took up walking for exercise last September and it hurt at first but I managed to struggle along for 30/40 minutes slowly most days. After Christmas I have found that my legs are totally seized up and almost impossible to move with them. I keep on trying though but it's like my feet and legs are made out of rocks and not supple. For other people who have arthritis, how come this is happening and are there exercises I could do to counteract this? I am not seeing the consultant for another year so suggesting for me to go back there over something minor is not advisable. All I want is feedback about loosening up and mobility ideas. Thanks.
Sorry I spelled the title wrong, I am a bit tired.

It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.

Hi,

Due to the fact that you're already under the care of a consultant we can't really give further advice on the FAF on how to help as it could go against what has been said. However, I have thought this through and have decided it may be worth me moving this to GSA rather than close it as a compromise.

The couple of things yoyu could try is icing any swollen or painful joints, doing a similar amount of exercise on a daily basis which will help to keep things moving and over time lessen the pain, though it may flare up in the short term (stick with it) and finally it may be worth you seeing a physio; some areas will allow you to self-refer to an NHS one, some want a referral through your GP or, if it's viable, the option of a private physio. Other than that I can't give any further advice on here as it would be potentially against what you've already been told in the past.
