Hello and welcome to the creaky gang - it's not fun being a member, is it? I have OA in both ankles, both knees and its starting in my hips, plus other joints affected by my other arthritis. I'm nineteen years in now and used to it. What has your GP suggested in terms of medication? I take four cocodamol per day to take the edge off and occasionally have an anti-inflammatory but the meds for my auto-immune arthritis generally take care of that side of things. Gentle non-weight bearing exercise is a good thing because that helps to keep our muscles stronger and better able to support the joints but finding our limits with that can take some time.
I hope you find the forum to be of interest, I look forward to seeing your name here and there around the boards. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
Hello and welcome - lots of people here to lend a sympathetic ear.
I have RA and some OA, but manage to rub along, and I enjoy coming on here to chat.
