Hi, I have osteoarthritis in my knees (one I had a TKR), my neck, my back and shoulders. So far, deep muscle massage has helped, even though it doesnt last long. Also, using microwavable packs, which I use on my neck and back work well. And, I know its not recommended, but I bought a heating pad that stays on and I put it one setting 1 and sleep on it. Helps my back a lot. I also do neck exercises I got from my PT. I cant walk right now because there is 4 feet of ice and snow on the ground. Thank goodness Spring is around the corner!😊
