Hi ya

I have ostoarthritis, i have had both my hips replaced, and will need my knee and ankles replaced or something in the next few months. What kind of operations have you had ?

Naomi

Hi....Ive had both hips replaced,like Naomi...used to be diagnosed as osteo.,but in recent times changed to spcoritic...Doesnt seem to make any differance to the condition (much the same)but it makes me feel a bit superiour due to less people having it xxx:laugh: :laugh:
Also have A.S. and the one thing you notice during the least flair-up times ...is just hour tireing the condition makes you feel.....
As any person with a chronic painful condition knows...our pain threshold increases with age...but the fight can have a negative effect on your stamina xxxxxxxB)<br><br>Post edited by: tonypark, at: 2008/04/28 15:44

Hi ya

Is that Ankalosing spondylitis that you mean ?

Yes Naomi...you know it then ??? xxxx;)

Yes, my partner has it now for a few years.

Poor Guy..he has my best wishes...Tell him to keep as active as possible....advice I didnt recieve,to my cost xxxxx If he wants to chat to a long standing fellow sufferer,tell him to get in touch xxxxx;)

oh thanks very much i will tell him. he is only recently diagnosed, well within the last few years, it was an infection that brought it to the surface.

The trouble in the early times is..it makes you feel tired and the pain is restrictive.I was told to rest...which is now decided,the worst thing...He needs to keep his joints moving as much as possible...Not so much strenuouse exercise ,more erobic.Swimming is great and if he can go about four or five time a week it will keep things at bay a bit......The next thing is to contact a real specialist....Get him enrolled with NASS (national ankylosing spond. society)....If possible get a referal to Dr Calin at The Royal Rheumatology Hospital,Bath.....They do wonderful things there..all on the NHS xxxxx;)
Also worth looking at is get him taking cod liver oil tablets..they will kick in after about three months...make sure he sticks with it......Then the big thing....Get his doctor (hospital specialist)to get him on weekly injections of Embrel (itas a wonderful drug and helps mobility and reduces pain to a bearable level xxxxx;)
