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!
