Hello,
I have been in Asia for eight years and knew I had osteoarthritis in my right hip but on coming back was told its now in both knees, both hips, lower back and osteophytes in my neck. I wondered as I had bad food poisoning in Asia and a year of very bad stomach issues, if the inflammation in my stomach may have contributed to the other arthritis in my joints?
I also wondered as ive terrible fatigue, exhaustion, soreness over my body, im not talking my joints, more over stomach, bladder, side of legs at night or after a long walk, if this could be osteoarthritis or something neurological...
I also, am out of employment as have a feeling of pressure building in my body for around three hours a night before it eases up. I have tried sleeping tablets, although i sleep for thirteen hours ,i feel heavy and slow, foggy when i wake up. Ibuprofen doesnt really help. Amitryptiline tablets help somewhat, the doctor thinking maybe part nerve issue.
Ive had three hip operations, the first was a new type of operation to fix my cartilage, proven to not work later, then two more to clear up shattered cartilage both hips.
I wondered as ive also social anxiety, and cannot do my degree job in environment work, what others are doing for work that is less harsh on joints?
Kind regards
Jim
