Ost. Arthritis joint pain

Another hipster,reporting in:I had both hips replaced around 2000',decayed from severe bi lateral osteoarthritis,had 'em both done five days apart.The pain and stiffness had become so bad that I'd become "stuck" on street corners,unable to move forward to cross.I have pain in all my joints at 67,and must take Nsaids,once a day.I know that movement is best,but at 67,I get lazy.Anyway,I sympathize with all my comrades in pain.Hint:pot really does work.It takes the emphasis off pain and distracts the mind to creative,comforting solutions.

Inflamo: I like your term- 'hipster!' I can't imagine having both hips replaced 5 days apart. What a recovery that must have been. Thanks for sharing some of your journey with us.
