3. I probably have hip and knee replacement surgery in my future too.

I had a bad motorcycle wreck when I was in my 40s. I still have chronic pain. Exercise helps me with it. The thing that I found that helps the most is to plan for good things in my future. You might want to plan a trip to go somewhere next year, or buy tickets to a concert or some sort of sporting event. I have a couple of concerts to go to this summer. I'm also going up to visit my brother who has a house on a lake. The lake is pretty big and we go kayaking. I don't know what you're into, but I'll bet you can come up with something. Just planning to take some time off really lifts my spirits when I'm down. Good luck to you and feel better!
