Osteoarthritis affects different joints: knees, hip, lower back, toes, fingers and neck. Each of these types demands a different approach in treatment and has a special impact on the patient's everyday life.

So, in this discussion, I suggest you mention the joint affected by your osteoarthritis, in order to find people in the exact same situation as you and be able to share more effectively.

This way you will be able to help and support each other emoticon wink

I have osteoarthritis in my left knee, both shoulders and elbows. My right knee joint was fused when I was 17 as thus leg was totally paralysed due to childhood polio. The left leg was also affected by the polio but has carried me for over 70 years. The problems with shoulders and elbows are mainly due to over 30 years of walking with elbow crutches.
