Hi All, So I found out last week that I have to have a total hip replacement on both hips due to my severe osteoarthritis. The first hip(left) will be within next 3 months. I've read alot of the posts regarding surgery, and tbh I'm finding it pretty difficult. I'm 38 and was not expecting to be going through something like…
Hi, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2018 in my hips, then in 2020 in my knees. I now have pain in my wrists, shoulders and ankle. I'm just a train crash! (A complete wreck) 🤣.
I came across a recomendation for the above while reading up on RA. Has anyone tried it? Has anyone tried tumeric generally ? what do you all think?

My adult children say to rather eat very healthily rather than allow my consultant to put me on steroids and Methotrexate (of course they are not medically trained but believe in alternative methods) because of the potential side effects. My recent markers are RF 250,…
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). I have bought two different folding sticks recently as I am going on holiday next month and it will be useful to fold up and put in my bag when I…
Hi this is my 1st post, I have left knee OA on waiting list for new one, right knee starting with OA. Right hip OA and degenerative disc disease with spinal stenosis also OA in back.

hi there, I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis a few years ago after suffering Terry pain and many other symptoms, I basically thought I was going to die. I met my consultant and was put on methotrexate tablets, then injections but had terrible stomach cramps so I have now been put on Yuflyma injections every 2 weeks.…
