Re: OsteoA in Sac Joints
Hi, Rosalind I'm very pleased to hear that your physio has been so helpful! To echo everyone else's advice above, regular exercise can be very good for both your pain and your mood. If you're not already incorporating core strength exercises into your weekly routine, it might be helpful for you to s...

Re: Osteoarthritis in both Knees
Hello Saetana I would like to echo Dr Holden's reply, that exercise doesn't cause osteoarthritis and can, in fact, be helpful for moderating pain and for protecting joints. If you haven't already seen a physiotherapist, it would be worth asking your GP for a referral to physiotherapy. Your physio ca...

Re: Pain after knee replacement
Hi, It might be worth asking your GP referring you back to your physio for a detailed assessment of your knee to work out the cause of the pain. There are also other pain mediating modalities that your physiotherapist may be able to recommend/use once he/she has determined the source of your knee pa...

Re: Back ache in France
As Dr Bawa says, most back pain settles within a relatively short period, so if yours isn't easing up, it would be advisable to consult a local GP. A physiotherapist/chiropractor/osteopath might be able to help analyse and treat the cause of the pain.

Re: Neck and Shoulder Pain
Hello I would agree. Approach your GP to ask about the medication and also to ask for a referral to your physiotherapist. Your physiotherapist will be able to analyse your posture and biomechanics, and will be able to advise on self-maintenance and pain-relief methods, including suitable exercises a...

Re: swollen knuckles
Hello
I agree with Dr Bawa. Making an appointment to see your GP would be a good place to start. A referral to a hands therapy unit might be helpful for you - they are specialist physio's, OT's and doctors who would be able to advise you on exercises and management techniques.

Re: Back and knee osteoarthritis
Hi,
yes, I agree. If you've both noticed a change, your Mum should approach her GP for a review and, if she has direct access to her physiotherapist, she should see her/him too. If not, perhaps her GP could refer her back to physiotherapy for another assessment.

Re: Shooting pain down outside edge of right hand
Hello Di It doesn't sound likely that it's connected to carpal tunnel syndrome. Pain down the outer edge of the hand could be caused by a number of things, including (but not limited to) your wrist, your elbow or your neck. Are you able to trigger/reproduce the pain by moving your hand, e.g. if you ...

Re: Arthritis after injury?
As Dr Bawa said, it is difficult to assess without seeing you in person. I suggest visiting your GP for an assessment.

Re: Preventing/slowing the onset of arthritis
Exercise may be able to slow the progression, specifically working on hip and pelvic stability; and knee strength and mobility.
I would recommend an assessment by a physiotherapist/osteopath to determine any predisposing biomechanical problems, and design a suitable exercise programme for you.
