Over the last year, I've had the onset and rapid worsening of osteoarthritis in multiple joints - mostly my knees. It's made so I can only leave the house for short periods of time. Getting answers out of doctors has been very difficult. Right now I am trying supplements and acupuncture. I would appreciate any support…

BUT my knee is truly awful☹️ I am experiencing acing and cramping in my calf and toes on top of all the other symptoms, loss of mobility, aching,…
Just wondering whether anyone has had any relief from using magnesium oil spray for hip arthritis. An Epsom salts bath does give me some short-lived relief so am wondering about the magnesium spray, although it's quite expensive.
