I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis which came as a bit of a shock. I joined this group to help me get to grips with it and more importantly understand it.

hi my name is Pam and I got osteoarthritis in my left knee and I am just wondering if anyone have any suggestions for me

My left hip also has OA and causes me far more problems (increasingly I cannot weight- bear when rising from my chair - the medics just keep…
I am currently on the waiting list for two new hips as I developed Avascular Necrosis following steroid treatment. My pelvic bones were also affected. I can only walk with the aid of crutches or a trolley but I can get out and about. The problem is when I sit. The pain is excruciating and prevents me from going to Cafes,…
