Back and knee osteoarthritis
My mother was diagnosed with this condition 18 months ago.She follows the exercises and stretches taught by the physio in the morning and evening plus walks a mile, 5 days a week. However in the last 2 months I have noticed her posture is leaning more forward and says it hurts to straighten her back.Should she go back to the doctor and see what help they offer?

Hi, yes I think that would be a good idea to see your GP as you have both noticed a change. I'm not sure if your mother is still able to access her physio as it would be a good idea to discuss it with them too. Thanks

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.
