Hi

Nice to join you, hope to get some useful support in the sense "it's not only me".

I have had OA in my spine and neck for at least 14 years, now I am in my 60's its got my knees, shoulders and both thumbs. I also have been diagnosed with Fibromyagia, so I am now on MST.

Two weeks ago I had keyhole surgery on my right knee. Oh I don't care, I am a widower and my late wife suffered far worse.

Stuff it, I will do what I want until I drop.

Paul

    Hi Paul

    Welcome to the forums. You sound as though you have a great attitude, good on you it will certainly help you through living with chronic pain.

    I hope the surgery helped your knee, I get surgery on my right thumb in a couple of weeks a least it will be a bit less pain to contend with.

    Fell free to post wherever, hope to see you around..............Marie x

    Hello, it's nice to meet you and I hope we can help with information and support. I am a little younger than you and have two forms of arthritis plus fibro too - not a good lottery to win. :wink: Determination to carry on doing what we can is key - as is knowing when to stop before we hurt ourselves futher. I am saddened to read that your late wife had a deal more to cope with but rest assured, you are no longer living alone with this malarkey because you have found us fellow-creakers-and-wincers. :) I wish you well.
