Hi All
Went back on Monday to see doc. He now says that there nothing that can be done about my O/A because all avenues have been covered. He now thinks that because my employer after 20 yrs paid me off, tried to get hold of my pension that I cant get because that means my employer that was has to pay, and as I had said to my doctor if I was sitting in front of him aged 63 onwards I woudnt have a fight on my hands,in pain all of the time not sleeping etc, he now thinks that depression is setting in. But still think that they do not listen.

Hello, I have an auto-immune arthritis and the joint damage from that has led to OA in some very useful joints. I cannot reply at length but I will be back tomorrow and hope to do better then. I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Oh Jim
this is not a happy story you tell I must say though a lot of folks with arthritis do suffer with depression. I hope the GP had some ideas to help?
