I sure hope you are feeling better or will be soon Kelly!!!
I can tell you for sure that no one knows what it's like to live in pain every second of your life until they do it!!! I, myself, feel like giving people a swift kick (if I could get my foot up that high) when they act like arthritis is just a minor thing, like a bug bite. I've had both doctors and nurses act that way.
It may be minor for some people, but for others of us, it's a nightmare.

Lots of prayers and (((HUGS))) heading your way!!!
