I was diagnosed with OA when I was 37. In my feet of all things. Now I am 70 and have it in most of my joints including my hands, which on some days are very painful. Take each day at a time because no two days are the same. I have been taking Glucosomine and Chondroitin for some time and have just recently started taking Rose Hip as an anti inflammatory. There was a very intersting programme on the radio about this from the Arthritis Research. Keep smiling. Sylvia
