Does anyone have any experience with these conditions?

Re: Osteoarthritis and tenosynovitis
im generally good when lifting etc- ive learnt how to eb as ive got the same thing in my slipped disk in my neck. @Sans911
i havent gotten in to see a physio as yet. im trying not to rely on medications as i know anti-inflammatories can cause damge if used long term and this is a long term thing.
why couldnt this happen when i was older- id love to live a pain free life but i guess its not meant to be hey.
im unable to swim becasue of some unkown reason i have an allergic reaction to any water even the ocean. i get rashes and itch like crazy! so thats not really an option for me.
i was thinking of become a nurse myself but i dont think i can handle that, i cant even handle me right now.
thank you for responding it means alot ..
is it better to get a physio who is specialises in feet and sport injuries?
ive got a podiatrist that i see for orthotics at the moment as well

Re: Osteoarthritis and tenosynovitis
I first had issues with my feet in my late 20s, then Ive had oa in my knees since I was 30, then I tore ligaments in my right shoulder about 2years ago, which lead to a extremely painful frozen shoulder. It's fine now, gives me aches and pains every so often, but now the left is paining in sympathy I think! Arrgh! I'm in my mid 40s now, so I've had pain on and off most of my adult life (2 neck injuries & 1 head injury to top it off!)
You can be a nurse, hun, anytime you want. I went to uni in my mid 20s. It wasn't easy, but I've enjoyed my career immensely. Unfortunately of late it's become less enjoyable, but that's just my journey and it doesn't mean yours will be the same. I just have to get out of this shitty depression pit & find another direction. That's what's great about nursing; so many areas to work in.

Re: Osteoarthritis and tenosynovitis
Is there anyway to cut down your schedule? Why is your mother helping so little with the car of your grandfather and your sisters? It's all so wrong,so very wrong.

Re: Osteoarthritis and tenosynovitis
I can generally twll when it starts to go wonky. Its given way a few times and i here am worrying about pops fall risk! Ironic isnt it
But it tends to go stiff and when i start to move it it makes a disgusting grating noise.
Im trying to turn my mother back into a mother. Shes always expectes me to do stuff and withour hesitation i would step up. My gp said to me esp after i was so embarrassed to show her all my sh scars she said what were my teen age years like. I said i never had them ive been an adult since as long as i can remember and she said yep that certainly sounds like youve hit the nail on the head. My responsibility and traumas have made me grow up very fast.
Im going to try and speak to my boss and see where she can help with scheduling as well

Re: Osteoarthritis and tenosynovitis
Hello @outlander and @Sans911 🙂
The thread title caught my eye and I can see you have both had interesting conversations about your experiences. I have family members who have athritis and I'm not sure if this is something anyone has tried but they have found Magnesium Oil to have been really helpful. Rubbing it into the skin and painful aeras. Have you had any experiences around magnesium oil or heard about it before?
Pebbles 🙂

Re: Osteoarthritis and tenosynovitis
Ive used magnesium oil before. I didnt find it to work on me but the magnesium powder drink helped me.
I also found the oil to be really itchy as well
