really? if no one else's opinions should have an effect then this whole thread is redundant!!!!!!!!!

if everyone reacts differently how is asking a bunch of strangers going to help either?

I am a woman and I have to agree with the bloke - you cannot restrict replies and this is not a reproductive health forum. And yes googling things always gets a wealth of information - just takes time to fish through it. Your doctor is the person you really should be asking, so glad you have an appointment.

was told by my doctor and physio to avoid anything that jars the joints - hips and knee - and that is why I cannot run. was doing running in cardio but the pain got so bad it would often end in tears - it is not worth it to bring on an earlier hip or knee replacement than I will otherwise need.

stick in the microwave in a little water for a couple of minutes - doesn't need anything to enhance the flavour cos it is bl@@dy beautiful just on its own!!!

cos of the hips

I have OA but in the hips not the knee - I do have a knee injury from a car accident 12 years ago so will probably end up with OA in it too. I have been told not to run. I do some circuit stuff - weights, fitball, resistance band and for cardio I walk

thanx for that, very useful
