hello! i had some questions!!!

i was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my right knee at 2 years old, they gave me a needle in my knee, and then i was never treated for it ever again. as a kid, i was heavier, i was neglected, and never brought to the doctor. whenever i did sports my knee hurt, but never really struggled with pain on a day to day basis.

as of lately, (now in my adulthood) my pain is so severe, and i have to wear a knee brace. i walk a lot, i lift weights at the gym because due to my PCOS i have to stay active, but this is stressing my knee severely.

im curious - do any of you relate to this? and if so what can be done to treat this? it’s genuinely impacting my life, and i don’t know what to do anymore.
