Painful conditions like osteoarthritis share common risk factors with many co-morbidities across all of the bodily systems. We need to move beyond seeing pain as a "joint" or "muscle" or "bone" problem and see it for what it is...a systems problem. frontiersin.org/journals/endoc…

@charliersmith1 Really sorry to hear you are going through this. Wishing you well and to let you know we care here are a couple of pics of my dogs.

This feels very hard to write, but earlier I tried to end my life. I’m currently in hospital, awaiting assessment, not sure what the future holds. If anyone has any pet pics (or other cute pics), I’d really appreciate the distraction ❤️

Are the disappointing results for exercise on pain outcomes in knee OA unexpected? Interventions that focus on the joint and not the person will always be suboptimal. cochrane.org/CD004376/CENTR…

Great work! Behaviour change is complex and simply telling people the benefits of exercise etc doesn't seem to work.

Osteoarthritis - think inflammation & not "wear & tear". sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
