    Hi Val, sorry to hear this news.

    You could cheer yourselves up by having a bet on which GP practice comes up trumps first!!

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Hi Val,

    Sorry to read you oh is also having problems and hope they can get to the bottom of it soon for him. Bloods seem to e about a week so maybe ring and see if the results are in after 8-10 days and then make an appointment is the best thing?

    Hey sounds like maybe you should go to oh's docs now. Hope your ok and a ((( ))) cus its Monday. Cris xx

    Hi Val

    Any news??

    Usually our docs call us in for blood results - if there is anything in them. My MIL got called in and panicked all weekend to find out it was her cholestral :wink: I would make an apt ready as Cris suggests


    Hoping all is well and he is behaving :wink:

    Love

    Hi
    Let's hope he gets a diagnosis soon. If it is arthur he'll know what you've been going through.

    Fingers cross that it goes ok for the both of you.

    Hi Val
    I had gout in my knee a while back but it seemed to go.....The one thing that really helped it {over the counter} Deep Freeze gel you can get a spray as well but the gel is better...because the action of massaging it in helps as well....spray is handy if you are out and dont want to get your clothes "claggy" Not Deep Heat LOL

    Love
