Well I've finally had a total hip replacement 2 years 2 months after going on waiting list. Had it on Saturday, home on day 2.

Hi, I have been told I have rheumatoid arthritis but.

Good morning. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and I think my right hip is now starting to show signs too. I use a walking stick when walking any distance (not in the house).

Hi, I'm new here, would like to know what people have taken for pain relief, I'm on Tramadol but doesn't seem to be helping much.
