Re: Hi from oop north
what area of nursing are you in, and do you answer health related problems online cos I have loads hahaha (j/k)Re: Hi from oop north
Ahhh I know all about Arthritis. My last ex wife was a clinical nurse specialist in rheumatology. she ran the clinics over in Bradford. She used to practice joint injections on me. The hip one is particularly painful. I have the start of arthritis in my knuckle joints. I'm told it's as a result of using so many high speed power tools over the years. The vibrations have damaged the lining of my joints. About once a year I go for cortisone injections. They are only painful in cold weather so I wear gloves a lot in the winter.Re: Hi from oop north
Oh matey, yes I know all about Cortizone injections - had two on my hip before they decided to replace it entirely. Was in hospital over last Xmas having hip replaced a second time - 'cos its a metal-on-metal joint and was rubbing and leeching chromium into my blood stream.
