    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.

    Lol...had to laugh at that article..sorry! :oops:

    I'm afraid I tend to take these studies with a very large pinch of salt. Though it would be nice to find one that really has some truth in it.

    I had a heart attack three years ago and was given statins after surgery.. two years ago I was diagnosed with RA...
    I remember having a conversation with my doctor about statins mimicking RA and wondering whether my diagnosis was just because of the statins..
    Just saying.... :|
