Hi my daughter told me about this great website. I have a rare brittle bone disease called osteopetrosis and because of lots of fractures I have now been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips and knees also my lower spine. I have just had steroid injections in my hip was wondering if this helped anyone else with pain

Hi @Mogs it's great to see you here!

Welcome to the online community where there is always someone who is ready to listen and share experiences. I personally can say that steroid helped me but did take a few days to get over the initial injection as it caused a flare at the time. Nothing too serious!

Here is some of our information about steroid injections:

And a little more about osteoarthritis in general:

I hope that you find these useful and we are looking forward to seeing you around the forum more!

Take care,

Sarah
