I have osteoarthritis mainly in the knees, hands, hips and spine.

It can be extremely painful at times and having osteoporosis does not help matters. I take Risedronate Sodium for that. Living with the pain is difficult but I take one day at a time.

I have osteoarthritis in both thumbs, bone on bone. Then in my lower back, both hips and both knees. But xrays showed only mild in knees and hips.

I have a really painful right knee at the moment, sometimes feeling as though it's going to give way. I'm rubbing it with voltarol, doing knee exercises, taking painkillers and wearing a knee support.
