I've had an MRI of my knee as the joint keeps getting stuck and is very painful. It showed that not only are there fragments of bone and torn cartilage which are causing the acute problem but there's also 'moderately severe' arthritis in the whole joint
Now my big toe joint on the other foot is very sore and stiff so I'm hobbling around and I've had a stiff thumb joint for months ....
Given the findings of the MRI I'm now wondering if these symptoms are also caused by arthritis
I'm feeling quite despondent at the thought of this getting worse and my mobility being impaired (I'm early 50s so really wasn't expecting this now)
What helps, other than painkillers?
