Normal didn’t feel acceptable.
Normal felt like the beginning of the end.
What I learned shocked me:

...even if nothing else has worked before.






Avoiding movement
Guessing what’s safe
Living on pain meds
Fear of flare-ups
Anxiety about surgery
Feeling “old before your time”

Confident daily movement
Less stiffness and pain
Stronger, more stable knees
Clear rules for activity
Reduced reliance on meds
Feeling capable again
