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. -
