I've had osteoarthritis for quite some time, two new hips and on the lengthy waiting list for a replacement knee. Things seem to be getting worse over the past few weeks which is concerning and I am interested in investigating the use of painkillers.

Hi @Racketboy
Welcome to the community!
The dreaded waiting list for replacement joints is not getting any better, but there are things you can try in the meantime.
Here is A support package for people waiting for joint replacement surgery (versusarthritis.org)
We have recently released "Lets Move for Surgery" a group of movements/exercising preparing for surgery and to support the recovery
Hope these are useful.
