Anyhow, back to Amanda, and..


What interests me..

Many people are walking around with similar hip deformities to Amanda.
Some developing only mild pain and some with no pain at all.

💥 They'll live a normal active life
And die without ever knowing that they had hip osteoarthritis.

💥 Also walking round are people who develop osteoarthritis,
..with a hip that looks just like Amanda’s..

💥 But who manage it themselves without ever seeing a doctor
They do the right things, by design or chance..

..and only get the odd niggle of pain.


What are those people doing..?

..that Amanda missed out on? 

And why did the inflammation and pain that she felt not fit with the degree of her wear and tear osteoarthritis?
 
Up until I saw Amanda in clinic..

The repeated advice that she had been given was to 

• Rest when painful
• Take painkillers.

That traditional approach to joint pain is now proven NOT to work.

Take Paracetamol for example..

..or jump back to Newsletter #014, #015 + #016 for all of the evidence for + against painkillers.

And way back to #009 for the evidence on moving more (NOT less).
That's the evidence against 'long-term rest.'

Most people who get to me in hip + knee clinic are moving less.
I suspect those who stay away, keep moving..
And that's a key difference. 


What do I take away from this..?

I don't think moving less is inevitable.

It can be tough.. to keep moving when we don't feel like it. 

BUT, personally, I don't think I have a choice.

I need to keep moving to keep my pain setlled..
To keep doing the things I love.
