Arthritis in all usual areas, struggling with pain at present
Bilateral knee replacements age 53yrs & 56yrs, bone on bone osteoarthritis. Also in shoulder,back, hands, feet, hip now giving me pain. Had denervation of nerves in back three times with chronic pain clinic. Suffering with a lot of muscle pain in my thighs currently, does anyone else get this? Still get pain & clicking in both knee replacements but nothing like prior to the ops as I could hardly walk. Constant pain gets you down. I retired last year & care for my elderly immobile father. Would be interested if anyone gets muscle pain in thighs & what do you do. I take Naproxen daily & recently had to start taking Co-codamol again, diclofenac works better but cannot take it for long. I cannot exercise on dry land but aquafit is brilliant. 58yrs old next month but worried about pain & mobility as I get older!

Hi@Linda45
Welcome to versus arthritis online community ,glad you have found us.
You say you have had Bilateral knee replacements for Osteoarthritis Arthritis .Osteoarthritis in Shoulder back and hands and your feet and hip now giving you pain. You also had a denervation of the nerves in the spine .You also said that you are still getting pain in both knee replacements.
Yes constant pain does get you down ,also worrying about when you get older for pain and mobility.is a common feature with people who have arthritis.
I too have had both knees replaced and my right hip,i have Osteoarthritis in my spine,feet ankles,unlike you I have no pain in my knees or hip since the operations.Maybe it would be good to get referred back to your surgeon via your GP and have a chat about the pain you are in to see if they can do something about it.
Meanwhile here are a few links I think may be helpful.
Hope all these links may help in some way.Do have a look around our forums and chat to others as it does help,please keep in touch and say how you get on.
All the best Christine
