Arthritis

There is not a day that goes by where I must explain my Arthritis to someone who has no idea. It is just frustrating...

Learning to play piano may not be the first thing you think about when seeking to improve your physical or mental health.

Over the past several years I have been suffering from knee pains, more in the left knee but the right one is starting to have issues. Knee pain was creeping in on me since a long time but when I finally decided to go and have them checked out I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in both knees with the left being worse and getting close to needing replacement surgery.

Massage therapy is often seen as a great way to relieve stress and refresh tired muscles. Many people see massages as a therapeutic recreational activity. However, a good massage is more than just something you get when you feel tired. A good massage from a licensed massage therapist in Portland can yield a wide range of health benefits and can work wonders for those who have sustained injuries from car crashes.

Hello everyone, my name is Sylvia. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue syndrome and back problems because of Arthritis. I already had a surgery on my back. I gave up drinking 17 years ago due to poor health. It’s the best thing I ever did for my sanity.

I suffered from left knee pains for years and got to the point where I must get injections. Alas, the effects were short term. My Orthopedist said my left knee was bone on bone and would need surgery. I was afraid of surgery so I put it off. Finally one day this past September the doctor said this was the point of no return as I was then ready for surgery. So I went through all the necessary tests and was cleared for surgery.

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hip joint and told that the pain would increase gradually by each step I take, as it will grind away another layer of my almost non-existing cartilage.

I have both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as Ulcerative Colitis and Asthma. Despite all of that at 63 I have a wonderfully full and busy life, But I do everything in pain.
