I deal with advancing OA for going on 60 yrs. All issues worse, for me, since hip replacement in 2010. I stretch a LOT....deal with old sciatic nerve damage from hysterectomy in the 80's....and have done a lot of work on that area and do sciatic stretch work too.

I've had two MRI's and manage as best I can at this point in my life. I take a lot of joint supplements, minimal pain meds, an herbal pain med included, bought a Tens but it doesn't do much for me. Move as much as possible and stretching is vital.

I've done acupuncture, a lot of massage over the years, but now not much...I massage my arms and legs as best I can. Many go for surgery after surgery and end up still in pain and often more. So, we all do what we do. IF, I had the funds I would do PRP injections and/or Prolozone injections. C
