I am 61 years old I do have vericos veins but I have never been diagnosed with arthritis although I'm sure it is slowly coming. I had a fall in 1994, face first on a concrete sidewalk after that I had a hip problem on the right side. I have bad swelling on my left side around my ankle up to my knee when I try to walk or work it swells pretty bad. I feel very fatigued and move slow. Just getting out of bed is a major pain. I don't want to live like this the rest of my life, I still feel like I could do anything but I can't because of my legs and hip. Please give me some way to research or find out if there is something I can ask my Dr. to try. He gave me cymbalta for my depression and some pain relief but it's not working well and its been 4 years now since I started taking it.
