My general practitioner told me I had arthritis in both of my knees. It hurts so much. I’ve been trying things. They crackle sometimes.

I got arthritis in my lower back, probably from my job unloading trucks for four years in the nineties. Going to physical therapy helped but probably not long term. I got some Tylenol made especially for arthritis pain.

Oh that’s even worse in your back.
What’s the treatment plan the recommended? I don’t know much about arthritis but I think it’s about inflammation. I think my mom has arthritis

I don’t know if it’s worse but I can’t bend with my back. Makes putting on shoes and socks and clipping my toenails hard so I got no-hands slip on shoes and Medicare pays for me to have my toenails clipped by my podiatrist.

Physical therapy helped with my back. @roxanna’s right, losing weight eased the pain in my back.

I have no cartilage left in my knees and need knee replacement surgery, but losing weight has allowed me to put that off for 5 more years. I get steroid and hyaluronic acid injections in my knees.

Yes a little in both knees. It can get pretty uncomfortable. Strengthening legs has helped.
I also have arthritis in my back…not as bad as my wife…she has a lot of problems plus the arthritis…degenerative discs in her back.

My mom takes 8 hr Tylenol for arthritis and fish oil. Fish oil has anti inflammatory effects. She says the fish oil helps a lot.
