I was diagnosed with severe OA three weeks ago.. Currently taking Naproxen and codeine. I really don’t like all this prescription stuff and prefer natural therapy, because I want something sustainable. I have started a yoga beginners course and am looking to join a local support group. At the moment I wake up every morning and I have screaming pain in my feet, especially the right one. My GP is useless, says it is incurable.. cannot believe it.. I realise this a long haul issue, but surely there is something to help me. Can anyone recommend some natural supplements? .. is any of the high street stuff any good?

    It depends on how bad the ankle is and how old you are. I was 72 when I had it done. Its great for me, before I couldnt walk more than 20 yds without being crippled. Are you sure he's world class. I had mine done at Wrightington where Sir John Charnley pioneered joint replacements. They dont get any better than that
