Osteoarthritis is the ‘wear and tear’ arthritis that affects people as they age. Here in Australia, it is the most common type of arthritis, affecting 1 in 11 of us, and is the predominant condition that leads to knee and hip replacement surgeries.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks its own tissues, as opposed to the traditional ‘wear and tear’ arthritis (osteoarthritis). Just under 2% of Australians suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, and it affects women at a slightly higher rate than men
Two weeks with Calcaneal Spur and finally got to see Doc. He sent me to Kevin @ Eleven and with One Appointment, he had me walking without Crutches. Yes! It still hurt. Did the Stretching, Rolling my Foot on a Spikey ball and Iced it occasionally. Return visit, after he had his Holiday, and I' am walking fine. They do NOT want to see me again, unless it deteriorates. Which it has not :-)
