I'm new to the group and have found the compassion, understanding and highly practical advice incredibly useful.

With arthritis being such a personal experience, I realised what I hadn't seen was any indication of what others…
Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I had a THR op last June and have had intermittent nerve pain with some numbness in my thigh until the last few months when it became fairly constant with fewer periods of little or no pain. I had a check-up with the consultant who did the op in May and an x-ray which showed the joint…

I was one of those who would have sworn in blood that it was white and gold, until it was proved…
Hi, I'm Sharon and I have referred pain from OA in both hips which manifests itself down both thighs at the front. I'm trying different paknkillers (usually I can hardly walk and it's painful and frankly dangerous to do so as I am anxious about falling over, and have done). I get angry, ratty, frustrated and annoyed. I…
