I am sorry to hear that, but, arthritis is cumulative and degenerative, it would not have been suddenly caused by a fall? It sounds like they have misdiagnosed or did you have the arthritis before the fall? Have they prescribed anti -inflammatories? They work really well if you find the right one.
I'm not able to take anti-inflammatories by mouth, and when I get a flare up of arthritis- for example after gardening - I use ibuprofen gel which you rub into the skin. You can buy the gel over the counter and it does work well
