Osteoarthritis I am 43 years old and was told by my doctor four years ago that I have osteoarthritis in my ankles, knees and hips. Two years ago surgery was done to both of my knees. The plan was to go inside the knees with a scope and FIX THEM. When I woke up in the hospital I was told there was more damage than he thought. I was to be off work one week; two months later, I was back to work light duty. I have now returned to regular work, however the pain always there. They are now worse then they were before. They hurt ever day sometimes so bad it is hard to work or even watch tv. Is there anything that can be done? I will try almost anything.
