I did acupuncture for my ankle when it was severe no help just advised to have lasar treatment which is risky if u have had skin cancer. However I believe the NHS give acupuncture these these days. Have a good day avoid going out in the storms though. Stay safe.

My osteoarthritis is in my hips, and spine. But now affecting my fingers and toes. It's really getting me down. Painkillers loosing weight etc isn't helping at all.

2 ops on my ankle when I was as child and 3 ops on ankle because of osteoarthritis  in the last 8 years not one of them has gone right. I am left with pain that means I can only weight bare for ten to 15 mins at a time swelling which means U can't keep a shoe on and a broken bone where they fitted pins which has not healed after 18months. I have spent the last  8 years in a plaster boot.  Now they don't want to touch it so stuck with  it.  I am spina bifida do have numerous problems with my spine and neck and arms and wrists.
