Hello, it's nice to meet you but I am sorry that you have had to find us. I too have OA in various joints but that's as a result of my other arthritis - none of it is fun. The best thing about the forum is that we all know how challenging and tough living with arthritis can be, so rest assured you are talking to the reluctantly initiated. Most people look in and post on the Living With Arthritis board on here, so have a look and don't be afraid to join in: new voices and experiences are always welcome. I wish you well. DD
Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben
