I have a bad knee that I have had 4 surgeries on. I have arthritis and have tried 2 cortisone shots. I tripped the other day because I tend to have trouble bending my knee so I end up shuffling. My dr says he is trying to wait 5 to 10 years before a knee replacement. I am only 40 so I was hoping to go longer. The physical pain is driving down my mood. I have trouble standing up and it is pretty sad. I am limping around work and icing a couple times a day. But the reality of needing surgery again so soon has me depressed. The link between physical pain and emotional pain is very evident at the moment. Which one do I work on first: physical or emotional? Or at the same time?

Sorry I know this is unimportant and I am just rambling.
