We have had many patients who, havng been diagnosed with arthritis many years earlier, put all subsequent issues down to their arthritis and assume nothing can be done to help. In many instances we have been able to treat an issue that the person felt he/she simply had to ‘live with’. Even if you have arthritis, this does not mean any pain you experience is caused by the arthritis. If you have pain, let a qualified professional decide if it is the same recurring problem or something else that can be treated.
