I have osteoarthritis of the hip, lower back and neck.
I now have the same pain in my knee joints. Also the cartledge in my inner thieghs have hardened and are quite painful. I use a cane and find most exercise impossible and painful. I take aleve and sometimes ibuphrofen, use ice packs and heat pads. My doctor says it will just get worse and surgery is in the future. I am 58 and have had this since 45. None of my friends have arthritis like mine, theirs is confined to just their hands. My husband just wishes it would go a way...so do I but I need to face the fact it will not and would like to find a support group that I can attend to meet people that have the same problems. I don't want to just sit and complain but meeting people who have experienced what i am going through would be a God send. If anyone has any info on support groups please let me know. Thank you,
If you are interested, we have an osteoarthritis of hip clinical trial ongoing in the Orlando area if you want to contact us, this may help you. Our e-mail address is n.redditt@gri-info.net. Let us see if we can help you.
Take care,
