I've got some wicked arthritis/bursitis going on. I went to a protest in February and was fine, but a snow shoveling experience kicked my butt. Now I'm doing PT, and eating ibuprofen like candy. I could probably get there okay, but getting home and walking the next day could be issues. Not worth the risk. It sucks missing out...it's such a feel-good when you really need it. Hope you feel better soon. There will be more, keep your sign handy!!
