Anyone else have oa in their knees? How does it affect you and what do you do for it?
Hello @Rennatisawesome
Gosh yes quite a few people have joined in the last day or so with Osteoarthritis in their knees (one or both) like yourself.
This is quite a long current thread which:
and this one too has lots of contributors:
Do please join in on any of these threads everyone who posts here wants to engage with others.
Best wishes
Ellen.
My arthritis is inflammatory so my knees flare up and down and will continue to do that until they need surgery, but pain is still pain isn't it?
When they are sore I do a variety of things. Sometimes a warm wheatbag helps (the kind you microwave) sometimes an ice pack in a teatowel is better. I also have some tubigrip which I use rarely if I am in real trouble and make sure I walk every day even if it's not far.
I have also got through more than one tens machine over the years and do the stretches and exercises on this site.
I am sure some of the people in those links from Ellen might be happy to talk to you about their experiences too and if you've got any tips for us please do share them.
Take care
