So you know that you have hip or knee osteoarthritis, and it hurts, or you're struggling with things in day to day life, but you haven't tried anything or taken anything. Before you see me to consider a hip or knee replacement, you should always try to do these things first, to delay things if you can. Whilst X-rays can show advanced osteoarthritis, the only thing that matters is your quality of life, activity levels, and functional expectations. In this video, we go through some of those things, and how to delay seeing me for as long as possible, until it's necessary to have your hip or knee replaced.
