Customer Reviews
excellent info
I was told that I have severe OA. I found angry@arhritis online. It is a very good podcast. Your podcast was discussed so I subscribed. I had so much run around with GPs for multiple years and got nowhere for my leg/hip/groin pain. Saw a PA. She got me x-rayed and by that time it showed severe OA. Thank you for this podcast for making me feel that i am not alone being in chronic pain and hopefully with science, help will come.
