Hi

Jackie1957

Hi I've just today joined this forum and am looking forward to sharing experiences and hearing of others experiences .I was only diagnosed with severe OA ( in my knee ) just about a year ago at the hospital. Due to Covid I've never had a follow up appointment but hoping to get a cortisone injection in the not too distant future, luckily the pain is manageable. Hope to hear other sufferers tips. Hope everyone is keeping well and safe. Thank you. Jackie.
