It's just so different thatn 3 years ago. i used to be hapy and confident. now i just feel like going out and seeing all these normal people is just to sad to think about why i'm not like them anymore.

Answers:
Aches and pains suck. They take the wind out of your sails very quickly. You have to decide if the pain and discomfort is enough to just give up and do nothing anymore. So the sports are out, who cares, watch them, cheer them on, etc. If you are embarrassed about a limp don't be look at many people these days, young and old, if you are not crawling down the street on your face people are not going to give your limp a second thought,
and if you are someone will probably try to help you off of your face. It sucks not being able to be who you used to be, but that does not mean you can not be someone better now. (I am) Good luck to you and if you may want to think about seeing a psychologist to help you deal with the situational depression and self pity (no offense meant) to see if you can feel better about your situation.

1) Stop pitying urself. 2) Grow up. 3) Remember cry and u cry alone, laugh and the world laughs with you. So, get up and go out even if u have to crawl at least u can move on ur own, there r others who cannot move an inch without taking somebody's help
