Osteoarthritis

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.

I used to blame myself for having Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain and not being able to do things like everyone else. I figured there must have been something I had done in my past to cause it.

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.

I am a single, 65-year-old male who is currently in the throughs of advanced osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis. I received my diagnosis several years ago but I had no idea how dramatically profound this illness would advance.
