Subject: Re: Osteoarthritis.
Hi Colette, I am an OA sufferer and have been for thirty years. Gentle exercise and swimming are good for us. Resting when your body tells you. Good painkillers are a must. Try to do all the things you want to do albeit a little slower. Holidays shopping evenings out are all good for us. A good network of support is also useful. When people ask you how you are if it is a bad day say so and remember to ask for help if you need it. Oh yes and a hot water bottle for painful joints is great. I would get two cheap on Amazon. There are ankle hand and elbow supports you can. buy Hope this helps somewhat anything else I can help with just ask. Take care x
