Osteoarthritis 😣😞😢

CurlyShirley

Hello

My name is Shirley and I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and sometimes I suffer bouts of excruciating pain in my back, hips and both legs.

I have joined the site to get a better understanding of the condition as I am really struggling to cope with the pain.
