Newly diagnosed osteoarthritis

Sammy22

👋 Hi, I just wanted to say hello, I’ve been diagnosed recently - post viral infection that has caused really painful hip and knee pain. I’ve also have a frozen shoulder which has been injected for pain relief and has improved with movement since this time last year but not fully back to normal, my hip and knee pain keeps me awake at night and I have tried so many medications but nothing seems to help 😢

Any info on controlling pain or movement would be appreciated

Hi @Sammy22 welcome to the Online Community.

I understand you have pain in your hip and knee and have recently had an injection for a frozen shoulder. We have some good information on our web site regarding pain management that you may find helpful:

From personal experience, have found that capsaicin cream is effective for some joints:
