I have osteoarthritis from head to toe. I am going in to hospital on Tuesday, for total knee replacement.
I am glad to have someone to tell how I feel.

Hello @Ashburne Pleased to meet you welcome.
Sorry to hear this. Wish you well for a speedy recovery.
Have you contacted The National Osteoporosis Society they might be worth contacting for reassurance and piece of mind.
They also deal with Osteoarthritis as well. Some thing to look at and get advice, information, support.
Helpline 0808 800 0035.
Hope that helps.
We as the community always here anytime to support you.
Please take care
