Hello
My name is Angela and I have just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee.
I will be getting physiotherapy in late May and have been advised that I will need a stick, at least "at first".
I have joined the forums as I feel in need of emotional support from people who understand.
Thank you for being there
