Thanks for all the wonderful support you guys have given me, i am worried for my sister and i have to be honest myself, i have had sore knees on and off for over twenty years and now my hip is playing up,but i am trying not to think negative about it, and hoping it is just the ole fibro playing up.

But these things tend to run in families unfortunately, yes i am familiar with psoriatic arthritis, my nieces husband was wrongly diagnosed with it, unfortunately for him his illness turned out to be something quite different and life threatening.

Yep we just have to keep a positive attitude i guess, and some of you are all amazing really you are, i am just a big sook when it comes to even thinking about having surgery.
