Osteoarthritis

MadCow1

Hi,

My friend was diagnosed with mild to moderate OA in her hands,hips & knee in 2019. She thinks this is contributing to the recent pains she's been experiencing. A doctor dismissed this being the case,as the x-rays were done in 2019.

I've never heard this before,I thought OA  got worse & not better?!

Has anyone got any opinions on this matter?

Hi @Teddybear12,

There's a few doctors,but this was an out of hours one who she had to see for a medication review. It's as if he was dismissing her OA as being insignificant,as it was 3 years since the diagnosis. I suppose she could ask again.

Hi @Teddybear12,

I will get her to speak up for herself. 

Thanks for the advice.
