Hello everyone,

How do you handle the challenges related to your condition and your everyday life? Are you able to play with your kids, do garden work, go on an active vacation, play football, etc.?

Good day to you all,

Marina

Still hoping that cartilage can grow back and won't have to get a knee replacement in the future.I would like to know of any clinical trials or any research going on. Thanking you, Margaret

Hi, I am virtually housebound and cant go out without someone to hold onto as I can fall. With having RA, walking sticks are no good as these increase the pains in my fingers and hands. I am lucky enough that the company I work for allows me to work from home and I have voice activated software for the computer. I can dust but only things above hip height and that's about it. My husband does everything else, except we have a gardener and a dog walker. I like to make quilts and make my own clothes on good days

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
