i have just been diagnosed with degenerative arthritist of my neck and lumbar area what am I to expect inntrems of my health and mobility for the furture?
My husband just recieved his xray report and the dr. says he has degenerative arthrisis in his back and hip area. She is following up with c-scan and neurologist appt. to see what shape his discs are in. My question is what questions do we ask and what are the best treatments for this disease?
Hi, I sure hope you can help. I was diagnoised with arthritist in my hips, lower back and knees…plus brittle bones.. now I hurt all over my body and so stiff that without pain pills I can barely move. I am alergic to asprin so I am unable to take most arthritic prescriptions. It feels like my hip joint wants to seperate from my socket/spinal area.. is this a normal feeling for arthritist? It really scares me at times. Other times I feel my hips just don’t want to function. I have never been sick in my life, served in the military, and now at 57 I feel I’m old before my time. Any advise you offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much..Nancy
