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.

@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.

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.

[Derek Griffin @DerekGriffin86]

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

[Derek Griffin @DerekGriffin86]

Osteoarthritis - think inflammation & not "wear & tear".

Helping patients make sense of pain is more about listening as opposed to just telling. Really informative talk by @kieranosull highlighting aspects that make up person centred care whilst talking about CFT
