Hi buhnannuh, I'm sorry to hear about your arthritis. That sucks :(
First of all, as others have said, we're here for you as you get used to living with the arthritis. The good news is that you will probably find that you learn to adapt around having the condition. So if you find actions difficult now because of it, you'll find that there are other ways to do things so that they're less hassle for you; examples that come to mind are that if you have trouble reaching the floor to pick small items up, you might find you can balance them on your feet and 'levitate' them to a higher place to more easily retrieve them, or develop a knack for 'kicking' them up to higher ground (this is how I 'pick up' socks, for example).
Also, there are lots of aids out there to help with everyday tasks... I couldn't live without my sock-putting-on-aid, for example (that link is just to show what I'm talking about, there are lots of varieties out there, and watch out that one's from the .co.uk site).
You mentioned being able to play with your daughter. I don't have children, but I can imagine the arthritis might make it harder. I'd suggest trying out playing with her on the ground and if it doesn't work out, maybe see if you can put her on the sofa and play together, or maybe try out new activities which are more friendly to her being on a level with you, like maybe reading together more often, or something.
The not so good news is that you might well experience an emotional roller coaster due to this news, or already be going through it. You might be angry, you might be sad. As Xyrd said, you might well grieve. If you do experience these things in relation to the arthritis, it's normal and okay - don't beat yourself up about the emotions or the arthritis they relate to, if you can help it :) It's not your fault you've got this illness. Be gentle with yourself, rest when you need to, and let yourself explore your new emotional reactions and physical boundaries. Remember - they don't have to be limitations, you can almost always adapt tasks to suit yourself.
Lastly (sorry if I've rambled) in my experience arthritis can be different day-to-day. Things you find hard today might be easier tomorrow, or visa versa, so give yourself time to get used to that and adapting to being much more physically changeable.
I hope you get all the help and support you're looking for, and things get easier for you soon :)

Seconding this! Mine isn't mobile, but it is divine. I have RA and mild hip dysplasia and that heating pad set right on the hip - sometimes I weigh it down with a bag of rice or something too - is seriously one of the few things that gets me through the day when it is flaring up.
Sometimes I find that sitting or laying with joints at a different angle can help with the pain too - I may sit on a pillow to adjust the height and angle my hips are at or sleep with a pillow between my legs or under my knees.
Staying hydrated helps some too - like I feel less gross and am better able to cope with it?
It may also be worth discussing options with the doctor - sometimes there may be a different NSAID that works better or something.
