Osteoarthritis
Hi everyone
I have osteoarthritis, two TKR later. I'm finding that my hands and feet are becoming very painful
very quickly. My knees took only months before they were bone to bone. I feel its happening so quickly again. I would like to know if this is unusual and has anyone else been effected so quickly. I'm waiting for arrays. I unusual just get on with it and count my blessings. The outlook for me is making me feel so worried. Thankyou

Hi @Chris1 I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through this, it doesn’t sound easily. I don’t have any experience on this topic but hopefully someone else who has a bit more knowledge will come along and leave their insights.

Hi @Chris1 unfortunately I have heard of it happening this quickly here for some people.
Having said that though perhaps it's worth asking for your bloods to be repeated anyway just in case it's a different form of arthritis to the OA you had in your knees? Many of us have dual diagnoses here.
Sending you some ((())) and hope you get those X-rays done soon
