Not sure
Hi I haven’t officially been diagnosed with arthritis, but after seeing a chiropractor regarding hip and back pain he is going to send a report to my Doctor to suggest a referral to osteopaths and an mri.
After reading some of the discussions I don’t see much hope in the way of pain relief.
currently I take nothing as nothing was working. I do take duloxetine but that’s primarily for my mental health.
I am only 40 and just feel my back and hip pain is ruling my life.

Hi @HappyH0402
Welcome to the online community.
I see from what you tell us that you experience significant back and hip pain and have found it difficult to get any relief. We see that you are getting a referral which will hopefully lead to a clear diagnosis.
Can I suggest you look at the following -
