This sounds hopeful for many of us whom are suffering with Osteoarthritis pain. I’m 58, and I started experiencing lower back pain in 2019. It’s gotten worst since then, so I’m truly praying for a miracle.

I wish I could afford this my back pain has kept me in bed in unrelenting pain unable to work or do the things I enjoy.

One of the worst pain you can ever live with in the world. On top of the pain your enduring you have to constantly be discriminated again by pharmacist because of pain medication needed to control your symptoms. However, I have been bullied and denied treatment by Walgreens in Brooklyn Park MN and today is the day I stand up for myself. I am going to launch a complaint with the Attorney General for disability discrimination against Walgreens pharmacy. My attorney is going to bring the case to Federal Court Monday against Walgreens and the Pharmacist who turned me away once he seen I take pain medication.

was diagnosed with Spinal OA (through Toronto Western) yet nothing of this nature was even mentioned - though based off this when it was published it was after i was first diagnosed but you'd think between then and now (2019) something would have been moved further forwards - but still not hard anything - is there anything new?

What is having a blood test going to do to help?

I have had 2 Laminectomies & 3 discectomies cervical & lumber L5 S1 L4 & 5
I now have stenosis of the spine, My knees are also effected with osteoarthritis, because of knee pain I feel it’s causing me to limp. My middle back muscles hurt me terribly when I walk. I haven’t stood upright for at least 2 years. I am under certain that this muscle spasm mid back will never go away as there is no operation to correct it. I have 2 bulging discs that I’m told will not be operated on until my symptoms get very bad. Im sure I have had my quota of surgeries

Hi guys please just stop the pain and replace the Cartalige like other bones can be fix. We sufferers all over the world are in so much pain we need help like everyone elese sometimes we feel like were being left behind when it comes to treatment, broken bones can be fixed, hips and knees can be replaced, and most of us lead very active lives. I hope there will be a time before I reach 65 that it can be fixed, heres hoping.

I don't think it will make any difference, our doctors don't care full stop! I've been suffering since I was 21...I'm 55 now, it has taken this long for them to just be able to diagnose OsteoArthritis in my spine, which i've been telling them for years...I've been told there is no treatment apart from surgery n pain management, i'm not at the stage of surgical intervention as yet...

[deliveredfromdarkness]

Thank You is the test available? is it called micro RNA test?

[arshdkhan]

Hello guys let's start conversation about this disease and tell each other our stories how it started at first maybe some day through these information someone might find a cure for it if you have this painful disease please comment your story i would love to hear it'll make me feel like im not alone :)

[christiem]

I'm just curious though.. will having this test done actually do much after your osteoarthritis has already reached a certain point? I'm 35 and have had L3-L-5 fusion last year and my neck is also on it's way to needing surgery.. I m hoping your research will actually be able to help somehow .

Hello I’m from Toronto, and I am interested to know more please, I am in pain constantly, I can not even do exercise or walk for long time, even I got fired from work because I wasn’t able to go to work for 2 days, I thought I had a fractured disc and know my dr.
