Hello. I have a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis which is fairly well managed with biologic injections. I have had pain in my groin for over three years. I have had every scan and test there is. At the beginning I was told mild arthritic changes and an osteophyte. The groin pain is triggered by sitting upright, driving,…
I've just had my first steroid injection in my hip due to chronic outer hip pain. Surgeon believes I had bursitis but I also have moderate osteoarthritis in the same hip. Following the injection, I'm now more aware of pain in the joint, around the top of my hip and across into the back of my glutes. I'm guessing the…
Hi everyone, First time poster here. I've lived with osteoarthritis in my ankle since I was 23 and have been really positive about my life and able to do most things, called my limp a "happy hop" to help inspire older hospital patients that they could walk faster than me and make them feel better. However, the more times I…
I have previously posted on here about this problem and I realize that people are not able to give me specific medical advice. For about three years on and off I have had ringworm mostly one patch at the top of my leg and I have applied various treatments such as Lamisil and more recently Daktarin and although it does take…

Hi all. I’m in discussion with specialist re having a trapeziectomy She says the operation is simple but the recovery takes time and can be difficult etc. I’ve got info leaflets etc but has anyone had the operation? I’d love to know your experience. Was it tough and was it worth it? Thanks
Has anyone had / been offered an Arthrosamid injection for knee OA ? Suggested to me by Benenden Hospital, and I see it's available at two other local private hospitals, though I gather not yet on the NHS. But apart from the glowing testimonials ( of course) on the Arthrosamid website, nobody so far has been able to provid…
