Hello.

2stroke

Hi, right hip and knee affected by osteoarthritis probably due to too much footy and rock drumming. Be looking for advice on how to ease the discomfort. Cheers.

Tom

Welcome to the Community, @2stroke. I see that you have a right knee and hip effected by osteoarthritis, that you blame on the youthful pursuit of favourite activities!

Here are some links to information that I hope you will find useful:

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Just as an update after persisting with the docs and medics I have knee replacement surgery on Sept 8th (2023). Could be partial or full, they said they'll decide when they do the op. Scare stories of 3 year waiting lists not true in my case and I count myself lucky.

That's great news @2stroke

Thanks for the update I will have my fingers crossed for you on the 8th

Best of luck

Ellen.
