Very painful joints everyday

Hi

I have osteoarthritis. Not RA so I do feel for you.

I've had 2 hip replacements and the 2nd one ...4 weeks post op I was doing an exercise and have fractured my greater trochanter bone.  More than 2 years later I'm still on crutches and am likely to be permanently.

The pain from the fracture {that will never heal is dreadful} I'm on MST as well also paracetamol......although I'm trying to come off them I'm still on some Naproxen.

I'm lucky that when my arthritis started I was about retiring age and am married so finished work. I don't know how I would have coped if I was working and lots of people I know have little children as well. That must be hard.

Love

Hi.....Again

Things are getting worse with me and pain.

As well as arthritis in hips, lower back a fracture in greater trochanter bone etc

I know have arthritis in both knees ....they have both joined the party now

I now have arthritis in both knees ....they have both joined the party now

I just don't know what to do, I've tried all sorts of things but nothing seems to help

I take anti inflammatories so cant take creams with A. Inflam in it

A lot of tablets are contraindicated to some other tablets I take

Sorry for the moan......just getting it of my chest

Love
