Hello,
It is great to have a place where people get it. I'd been living with osteo arthritis for 3 years before (finally) a doctor authorized an x-ray. By the time I got home there was a message on my machine telling me that I would need surgery on my hip. That was 11 years ago. They scheduled the surgery & I had a hip rotation and was lucky to have a good result. I was told that it probably wouldn't last forever; hoever, it has been 11 years and it is still working. It seems as though now it is my shoulder... Thank you for allowing me to share.

Hello and welcome to HealingWell.
Support groups are a place for people to give and receive both emotional and practical support as well as to exchange information. People with health conditions, as well as their friends and families find support groups to be a valuable resource and get confirmation that their feelings are "normal", educate others, or just let off steam. IMHO joining a support group is joining a family !

Thanks for joining our family and sharing with all of us. You are now one of the great members of the Osteo Family.

Welcome and Happy Holidays,

Kitt
