Some success with treating osteoarthritis

mickeyb2 I have osteoarthritis too, but it mostly bothers me in the morning, my knees will hurt. I am Lilypaws and I had that big surgery (fusion) for my degeneration and stenosis (between my L-4 and 5. My surgery lasted 9 hours. It's been a little over 3 weeks and I do pretty well being on pain pills, but sometime raising from a low chair or couch it can be painful. My surgery included T-10 to my pelvis.

It sounds like you're having some significant surgeries. My doctor had talked with me about several surgical options for the arthritis in my spine. I have been very fortunate in that injections and physical therapy have been able to keep me upright so far.. I also had surgery on L5, but it was for a ruptured disc about 40 years ago. Good luck lilypaws, I am hoping this alleviates your problems.
