    Hi

    I have osteoporosis and have done for many years, I am yet to have a formal blood test to confirm this.

    My specialists have made confirmation through MRI's, up until now.

    I have currently had many injections in my wrist, shoulder, elbow, hip and spine, followed by a hip Arthroscopy, then a right hip replacement, Trapezium and carpal tunnel operation.

    Currently I am awaiting to see an Orthopedist on the 26th to discuss the result of a MRI showing, multiple problems in my neck, which is very debilitating.

    The pain is very up and down from day to day, but never goes away. I say I have a high pain threshold to people but I think it is a case of not knowing anymore, what it used to be like to live with out Arthritis.
