I was thinking of playing softball as a hobby, or maybe more if I’m any good at it. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knees and hips but was told I needed to exercise. I understand that softball is no fluffy walk in the park but I have always wanted to play and be apart of a team.

my lab is 13 and has become noticeably slower and uncomfortable recently. is there anything i can do to ease his dicomfort in his joints and hips during his "golden years"?

I’m 32 weeks and I have developed pain in my fingers and hips that has become almost excruciating at night. I’m only 25, surely I’m not getting arthritis! Is there anything I can do to alleviate the pain?

i am a male of 19 years and have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips, but the pain i had in my hips has stopped now for three months, even though i haven’t rested, instead i have increased the amount of exercise and sport i play to around 10 - 15 hours a week! could there have been a misdiagnosis? i was diagnosed after an x-ray!

I have been having severe joint pain for a few weeks now that seems to affect different joints on different days. it affects my elbow, hips, knees, and ankles, i have no other symptoms accept for fatigue. i have seen my family doctor and awaiting test results any ideas what this could be?

My dog is 15 has lost weight thanks to our homemade dog food is on Metacam for arthritis but I wanted to know if there is anything else I can do? His hips give out on him he exercises and I want to do what ever I can to help him

i am 19 and have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the hips buts i have no pain even though i do around 10 - 15 hours a week of sports and exercise, i am definitely fit enough to join its just that its on my medical history! could i join the army with my ’symptomless’ osteoarthritis?

I have joint pain in my knees hips and ankles. My knees have an old injury, my hips are uneven and I have always had weak ankles. I am about 35-40 lbs overweight right now after having my second baby, and I am trying to lose it, but the pain makes it hard to workout. So, is there a supplement or something that might help me?

hi i was just wondering … what dog food would you recomend for a dog with arthritis? he is four years old nearly five and he has got arthritis in the hips . it is quite rare in his breed he is a border collie and is there anything you could recomend that would help. thank you for your help !

Why can’t I give my dog ibuprofen…since they are both NSaids?
Thanks to both of you!
Is there anything over the counter I can give him. I can’t afford .00 a month to keep him on Rimadyl but can’t bare to watch him suffer either.

His XRays show hip dysplasia in both hips and an old fracture in one of them. Surgery has a good prognosis for him, but I am on disability and can’t afford the 0.00 that is charged.

He is elderly, I just got him from the humane society in March and they said they though he was 5 to 7 and he looked to be in good health. Since I brought him home he has deteriorated and now has catoracts in his eyes and can barely walk.

I’m heart broken for both of us.
Thank you Jessie, you have been most helpful!
