The other day, during my morning routine of eating breakfast and browsing various forums, I came across a post on an osteoarthritis discussion and help forum that really stood out to me.  It was about a man.  A man that had a well run business of his own that was doing solid for many years.  He then developed severe OA, and to put it blunty, was pretty much ruined.  He has tried everything he can to relieve his pain, but nothing, so far, has really worked.  He is 63 years old, and sounds like a pretty swell guy.  It is pretty sad to hear things like this.  So many peoples lives are severely hampered because of OA, and it’s getting old!

It’s really hard to tell just what it’s like to go through OA if you don’t have it yourself, but people who try to understand and help – they are the best.  Well, to get to the point of this blog, that is why this forum post stood out to me.  It was made by his step daughter – trying to find a way to understand it, trying to find a way to help it.

And, I really hope she finds help for him.
