I’m new 😊

Hi everyone, I have finally been diagnosed with OA after two years of hospital visits , along the way I also have an osteoporosis diagnosis and PFPS, a great gift for my 60th , I have constant pain and stiffness in both my knees and I hate to think how much l have spent on pills, potions and miracle knee braces and to be fair some have helped but none of them have lived up to the claims made . I have and continue to do the physio recommended. Since April the the pain has only increased. Meds I am on are gabapentin and co codomol as required plus the osteoporosis meds. I’ve changed my lifestyle and have and continue to loose weight as this hopefully will be beneficial. I have had to cut down on my workload which has hit me where it hurts . Everyday is a struggle with the pain and mobility. I have more hospital appointments on the way as well as the pain management appointment. I think that about covers it 🤣
