Well, the title explains it. I'm failing physio. It's embarrassing, I can always do the exercise the first few times (the first day or so) and then the pain becomes unbearable.

Also I'm wondering how to bring up the need for mobility aids with my physio therapist? I already have a cane but I'm looking for like forearm crutches or a wheelchair as walking is just unbearable.

I'm really into creative stuff, I used to draw, crochet, write, paint, and slowly I've lost one after the other. I can't hold pencils properly anymore, crocheting gives me horrible pains. It's the only part of all this that I can't deal with. I had to give up running about 8 months because my hips couldn't handle it anymore and I'd get horrible bruises all around my knees.

Ive been working 35 hours a week for a few months now (at a very body intense job, which somehow hasn't taken me out yet), getting home and just staring at the wall until bed time. I'm so bored. Video-games aren't doing the trick. And my body seems to be getting worse and worse. Do you guys have any creative type hobbies or tools to help?

Edit: Thank you all for all the suggestions, I'll have a lot of things to try. And yes I know that I'm not helping myself with my job but it's my only option right now. I'm already on a wait list for physio, but as I'm sure you're all aware, wait lists never seem to end. As soon as I figure out my insurance though I will be seeking private physio to bridge the gap. (Im not super sure how private vs public works where I live though)
