Back to MFP

I am 74 married woman and have severe osteoarthritis pain from my neck to my tailbone. I have had this for a number of years. I don't take medication for this but do use Voltaren rub to help ease the pain. I also am getting OA in my hands now as well. I have osteoporosis which I take a once a week pill to help strengthen my bones. I do walk--even with the pain. Rest when it is severe and use my heating pad. I am finding once again the pounds are going back on. The old roller coaster ride continues so I need to get back to basics.
