Osteoarthritis
Hi I’m new and suffer with osteoarthritis, I have had one knee replacement nine years ago but recently had severe pain in my left knee, had x-ray and osteoarthritis has gone into the knee, the problem I’m having is the pain is quite severe and is constant, I’m taking painkillers but they don’t help much it’s doing my head in , I’m wearing a knee brace at the moment ( not sure if this helps) any information or advice would be grateful received thank you
