Hello everyone
Hello. How is this Saturday going for you all.. I feel better than I have for a while because I have my appointment with a orthopaedic doctor at last. My doctor has been treating me for widespread Osteoarthritis for some time, but things seem to be getting worse. It’s in my hands knees and back. My back grinds so much, I can literally hear it now.. I’m just hoping that there may be a better pain remedy out there for me. I’m so glad I found this site, it is helping me so much…Bella 🌹🌹🌹
