Living with Osteoarthritis

Red_Tulip

Hi, I have just joined as I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis last year and would like to know how others are dealing with it.

Hello @Red_Tulip and welcome to the community. We are friendly and supportive and I hope that you will find that as well.

I understand that you have osteoarthritis and are looking for tips on how others deal with it, You don't say how it affects you but can I suggest that you have a look at our website as well as this community. The website has a lot of useful information and to help I've put in a couple of links below, but you can search for more specifics, e.g. hips, hands etc.

With very best wishes

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your reply and info. I wasn't sure how much info to include in my first post.

I have Osteoarthritis in my feet i.e the big toe joint on both feet. I have been researching and it seems that some people are taking Boswellia Serrata with some success. I just don't want to order something from the internet and wondered if anyone on here used these tablets and can recommend any?

Thanks

Hi @Red_Tulip unfortunately the only reference I can find to Boswellia is in the following link

Regarding feet try searching our website as there are a number of articles like the one below
