hi
I have had osteoarthritis in my back, shoulders and neck for many years, I saw an advanced physiotherapist last year who told me to use breathing techniques to stop the pain, do moderate exercise and moderate my work load at home, I have a toddler, a teenager and I am a single mum, I cannot take painkillers my gp prescribed as I was told by hospital doctor they will make me sleep, I can't sleep during day as there is no one to have my children and its not ideal, I have been left to deal with pain as I'm not under hospital, I am careful when cooking and cleaning as I know if I do too much i will be crawling on my hands and knees, I have a wheat bag and mussellflex gel I use all the time but doesn't help. Please could you suggest anything
