I'm suffering from chronic pain due to severe osteoarthritis in my hips, I need a right total hip replacement but I'm continually being denied until I lose more weight. I'm struggling to loseore weight because I can barely walk anymore.

I've got OA in back causing deterioration in the disks. I'm suffering a pinch nerve causing numbness and nerve pain in my upper leg. My hands have really started hurting all the time.

😥 unfortunately, I too have osteoarthritis! I have it in my knees, my lower back, my neck, and now my left shoulder! I have had one knee replacement, but I won't do it again. My brother-in-law had a hip replacement and he healed a lot faster than I did. I'm only 57 years old, but I feel like my body is 80 years old! At times, I could barely walk also. I've had to use a walker for a while. I think you will heal fine after your surgery! I have faith!
