Waiting for a joint replacement?

Our media department are hoping you can help them.

They need someone who is

1. Waiting for joint replacement surgery
2. Waiting for a long time
3. Willing to be a media case study, either for a print piece, or a live interview

If this is you, please send an email to community@versusarthritis.org and someone will get back to you as soon as possible

Thanks

Hello, I have had both hips replaced.Unfortunately, the first replacement I have developed bursitis in it. Very painful, almost as bad as before the surgery. Had a treatment, didn’t work. Had an MRI 5 weeks ago, still waiting for a professional to get in touch. It was bad before covid but now the waiting is even more lengthy.
