Saying prayers for my Mother-in-Law and her devastating arthritis. I found her making her Christmas lasagna with the pan on her breakfast nook bench because she can not straighten out enough to make it on the table like normal people. Her arthritis, which she has both types, is slowly taking her life. She had on old jeans that had holes near the knees, it was not until I seen her rubbing her legs that I realized it was from the friction! Ouch!

They do not even x-ray her anymore since her results show 'haze' and you are unable to see any bones.

Love you My Awesome Mother-in-Law and praying that you are able to walk without that deadly pain. I wish you comfort and pray that the pain can get down to a '5' or lower (she is at a constant 9!)>>Believe51
