Hi
I have just joined. I got told yesterday I have osteoarthritis in my knees hips elbows and shoulders, that was the first time I had seen anyone in 14 months due to the pandemic, the appointment was cancelled 5 times
They have told me nothing they can do except painkillers

Greetings @Vanessajayne and welcome to the forum.
I see that you have been told that you have OA in your knees, hips, elbows and shoulders. Was this a GP or consultant diagnosis? you no doubt find it disappointing that you are only being offered painkillers.
I have plucked these links from our website which will hopefully give help and suggestions as to how you can manage your condition.
I hope you may find something of help and interest in these. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Tom, Moderator.

You're in the right hands then. It can take time for treatment to take effect. I have always tried to not regret the things I can no longer do, but take joy in the things I can.
