New here recently diagnosed with hip arthritis
Feeling emotional.
I'm 48 and suffer from fibromyaglia and pain from scar tissue from my hysterectomy. Pain been worse lately and been walking with a, shuffle so got an xray
Found out I've hip arthritis even past few weeks seems to be getting worse. Should I try a, walking stick? I've found myself off balance so times and unsteady on my feet. Will a stick help when I'm bad and shuffling due to pain
No one has explained anything to me. Dr says best if u refer myself to physio so must do that as its scaring me to be honest.
