Hi, I am a mum of 3 girls, 2 grown up and left home, youngest one is 10 this year and is autistic. I have osteoarthritis now in both knees, no cartilage in right knee and a bone spur on same knee.. I have asthma, and I suffer from bad back and shoulder pain more often these days, I also have sciatica and suffer venous oedema and arthritis in my hands. Is anyone similar?

Hi @Blossomlady73 - Welcome to the community, which I'm sure you'll find both friendly & supportive. I have an understanding of some of your problems, as I have generalised osteoarthrosis. This because of having overuse of hypermobile joints due to a genetic disorder.As Abdi suggests, please have a look around at the information here, & also join in if you wish with any discussions. Please also chat here any time, or say if you have any other queries, as there is usually someone who can help/advise.
