Waiting....
Im 52, 5ft, 8.5 stones and was told i have OA of my left knee. After xrays, physio, injections all to no avail its now worse than ever !
Swollen stiff knee, baker cyst and a knee that doesnt straighten anymore 😔
Dr said i need a partial knee op, and im still waiting for an actual knee clinic appmt. I was referred March as i understand, been told i should hear by 16 Sept...
Is my knee being this bad normal? I used to dance and do gymnastics in my younger years.
Thankyou

Hello @Bladesgirl1970 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that you will find that as well.
I understand that you have osteoarthritis in your knee and are waiting for an appointment for a knee op. Yes waiting times can be a problem. I've put a couple of articles below from our website which might be of interest and I would recommend having a look. The website contains a lot of information on arthritis, treatments and Hints and Tips.
Please do keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and I am sure that others will connect with you to share their thoughts and experiences as well.
With very best wishes

Thanks so much @noddingtonpete really appreciate this ! i will take a look, wish i had joined this group earlier. Yes my knee OA is so bad now, my xray showed bone on bone, im limping when i walk and 10 hour shifts in the nhs are not helping....
Looking forward to sharing stories with others on here though as i feel all i do is moan to my family, friends and colleagues. Thanks for welcoming me to the group.
Kind regards
Liane
