Should we be trying to look younger than we are?There is nothing wrong with trying to look your best. I am 79 but still use make up whether staying in or going out, also moisturise twice a day. It can be difficult finding clothes, don't want to look old & dowdy. Try to keep as active as possible, do crosswords & codeword puzzles every day, take an interest in current affairs etc., not too old to learn something new.ViewDate:

Would you volunteer to be euthanased?Life is precious, but only while you can enjoy living. I would like to be able to choose when I die, most people will not wish to continue on this earth with unbearable pain, infirmity, being dependent on family. Having seen loved ones suffer it fills me with dread at the thought of ending my days like they did.ViewDate:

Has the magic of Christmas diminished?Already seen Christmas items on a certain shopping channel, how long before the cards are in the shops. Will be sick of seeing it all long before Christmas, the magic has gone in a sea of commercialism.ViewDate:

How has your life been affected by arthritis?Has anyone found something to give relief from constant head & neck pain? I know I have extensive Osteoarthritis, but the head pain really makes me feel low. I realise that there people a lot worse off, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Had Physiotherapy in the past with only short term ease of pain.ViewDate:

Knee replacement - have you had one?Hello, I had total knee replacement January 2016, I am delighted with the outcome as I was in a lot of pain, knee locked up a few times, excruciating, also I nearly fell downstairs. I went in early one Wednesday morning & came home after lunch the following Friday. Must say found sleeping difficult in the first few weeks because of pain. Did my exercises faithfully including walking with crutches, it is most important to work on your mobility. Do not worry about having the operation, it is well worth it in the long run. I was 77 years old & I have coped very well, so go ahead, I wish you all the best.ViewDate:

How has your life been affected by arthritis?It's a while since I posted on the subject of Osteoarthritis, so this is a little update. I had a total knee replacement in January 2016, to anyone contemplating this operation do go ahead, I have been delighted with the outcome. However, I have got the Arthritis just about all over, went back to see the Surgeon recently because of pain in bottom of my back & right hip, he says the pain is not from the hip it's from my spine. I get Co codamol from my GP but limit it as much as possible because of the side effects ie Constipation. Has anyone been prescribed anything for pain that works without this effect? I get Acupuncture every 6 weeks at the pain clinic which helps for a little while. I do keep as active as possible but the pain does take the pleasure out of walking,but I realise that I am lucky compared with many other people.ViewDate:

How has your life been affected by arthritis?I have suffered from Osteoarthritis for many years, it started in my neck, but it's now in my spine & hips. I had a total knee replacement 8 weeks ago which is progressing well after a very painful time in the early weeks, medication only took the edge off & sleep was difficult, however sleeping a bit better now. Sometime in the not too distant future I will need a new hip, which I am told is not such a painful recovery period. I am starting to be able to walk quite reasonable distances, so overall very pleased with my new knee. Anyone facing such an operation go ahead, you will not regret it, but you must do the exercises as instructed. -
