Newbie 34 moderate hip arthritis

Danh86

Hello guys,

Thanks for letting me join, I’m Dan 34, saw a poster in my local chemist for this website & thourght I would have a look and so far seems very good.

I have hip dysplasia in both hips & moderate arthritis causing pain into my back, hips & thighs. I’ve had to walk with a stick for 9 years following blood cancer which spread to my ribs, pelvis, spine, skull & helps with the hips. Had 1 face to face with physio then 3 phone calls before being discharged with some excerises to do at home.

is there anything else I can do to help with the pain & movement of the hips ?

thanks In advance & look forward meeting some of you.
