I have recently come through 2 big toe fusion ops. Feet still sore, first done early December, second early February. Still struggling and foot sore. I've bought some Knixmax canvas shoes which are not too bad but think I could have done with my usual size 4 instead of the size 5s. Anyhow, any help on brands and sizes…
Has anyone had a TKR by Nano Knee or Jiffy Knee?
Hi everyone I have osteoarthritis, two TKR later. I'm finding that my hands and feet are becoming very painful very quickly. My knees took only months before they were bone to bone.

I used to take NSAIDs but then they caused problems in my gut (IBS) so I was put onto biologics. I have tried two types of biologics but ended up catching so many infections I felt it wasn't worth it. Two…
I wonder what others think of the following. Before my X-ray (which revealed hip arthritis), I had been in moderate dicomfort. Ever since the diagnosis. three weeks ago, the pain has increased - at least doubled - and now I am varying between bad days and moderate days but almost never pain free, i.e. not aware of my…

My arthritis started a couple months ago. I try to do some special exercises, but the pain in my left knee and hip is getting worse. Some people suggested me to take collagen or glucosamine. But I do not know which one is good? I hope you can give me some useful advice. Thank you in advance.
