decent house slippers

Another for Crocs BUT you don't have to get the traditional crocs design if you don't like the look. They may cost more but I find they last longer than cheaper alternatives.

They do a wide range of other shapes, I have a pair of slip-on shoe crocs for work and trainers for casual. I had a pair of orange flip-flops for use round home until the cat ate them (chewed the strap).

I've seen staff in hospitals wearing both Crocs and Skechers - which probably says something about comfort and maybe also about support.

When I visit my NHS podiatry clinic I always take notice of what the staff are wearing.
One lady had a pair of trainers that looked to have great support.
I asked what brand they were and it was Hoka.
I Googled and whistled at the price.

I think slippers are not helpful for your disease. You can use some medical equipment to recover.

I know we are around the same age. A lot of time the pain isnt from the mattress, its the pillows and believe it or not different shaped pillows are needed depending on how you sleep

Im a front sleeper with arthritis of the neck so I need to use gusseted feather pillows, so I can wrap my arms around them, not putting pressure on the arms and therefore the neck

The idea of a good sleep position is on a mattress and pillows that dont put pressure on joints ( whilst keeping the skeleton straigh - ish )

Your knees are giving you gyp, have you thought about a body pillow? 

Im sounding soft about pillows, but they are a cheap ( comparatively ) solution.  Right now Im suffering with a soft tissue injury and my arm feels like its 10kgs - so when sitting watching tv, Im propping that arm with cushions/pillows 

As for slippers, you have to feel safe in them ( you would be shocked to know how many A&E attendances are due to slippers.) I remember when step dad was getting wobbly, he loved all leather slip ons, he hated having to switch to the "shoe" type with Velcro fastenings . If you are buying supportive slippers ( enclose the foot, support the ankle, have a sole that is shock absorbent and non slip)  try an insole 

But do speak to your doctor when you can. My surgery ( which is crap as a rule ) has in house physio and you dont need a GP - self referral  -and they are fantastic for giving help with mobility pain
