I have some serious pain going on.  I can't get myself from my knees to standing on my own, I can't move in bed when I am sleeping and the pain is so great in my shoulder that I cannot life my coat.  It's time to see a doctor and see if anything can be done.  I cannot take it, nothing seems to be helping and I seem to be getting much worse instead of better.  I am 48 years old and cannot get in or out of the bathtub. I try to put a brave face on and make the best of it, but that's not making me better.  I am progressively getting worse and it's getting a bit scary.  On top of all this I still have Crohn's flaring.  It is not easy to be me at the moment and it's not getting any easier.  Something has got to change and soon.
