Hi everyone. I am new here. I have Osteoarthritis in every joint due to a rare bone condition I was born with. I have had both hips replaced, one knee replaced, both elbows replaced, both ankles fused, my toe joint replaced and I have several more surgeries still to come. I am here to get support and also to give support and advice to anyone who needs it. Hope you all have a great Sunday 😁

Oh WeeJean that does sound difficult to deal with. I expect you’ve come to know various doctors and nurses very well over the years. Do you get a lot of support from the medical community?

I have had fantastic care over the years and am very thankful for having such wonderful doctors, nurses and all NHS staff involved. I honestly can't fault it 😀
