Hi @tanned  

Welcome to the Versus Arthritis forum. 

I note that you have Type 2 diabetes as well as OA, you’ve undergone a number of operations and await a knee replacement. 

I’ve had a quick look at our website with a view to identifying any articles that may be of interest to you:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/surgery/knee-replacement-surgery/

 Here’s the link to our website home page where you may find some useful information:

I hope that you find being a member of the forum beneficial and you don’t have to wait to long for your knee replacement.

 Best Wishes

Hi @tanned , welcome to the crew. Well done you keeping up with the allotment with all that going on, and dare I say it, at your age. Gardening is such wonderful therapy for pain, gives a bit of exercise too, and in your case, free food and flowers. I hope your medications manage your pain enough to keep you active. X
