Hi!
I just saw this post and feel it so much. For me, it is moving away from the extreme heat of GA TO the UK where the weather is much more our bag. I hope you get some relief soon.
*Not giving medical advice, just providing an anecdote, personal story*
I wanted to share, because I see things like this and want to help: While you wait, consider trying to eat low carb and eliminate sugars, grains, and seed oils. I did this to lose weight and head off Type 2 diabetes (I am Native American and weighed 300 lbs, Dad and Grandma died from diabetes complications), but I found MANY more benefits once I was well and truly in it. Not only did I reverse my creeping A1C and lose (so far) 75 lbs, but my vision improved to 20/20, and every single ache and pain from past or current injuries VANISHED. It also completely eliminated my life long and crippling anxiety. Maintaining for 3+ years now.
Maybe you try it and it doesn't help, but I have talked to a LOT of other people with joint pain and arthritis and pain from old injuries who have done this and gotten total relief, as well. It is a low inflammation diet, basically. Sugars, Grains, and seed oils are inflammatory for a LOT of people. I know it won't fix your injuries, but it certainly might help reduce the pain and help you have a better quality of life. Maybe even prolong the time you can tolerate remaining in the UK so you can save more money. I definitely know the frustration of being in constant pain.
I am here to help, or just if you wanna vent and take none of my tips
