How Long Does Osteoarthritis Take To Get Cured?
I am 42 years old and have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my spine in L1 to L3. I am on 20mg of slow release morphine during the day and also am on 10mg severdol. I have had to quit my full time dairy farming job due to doctors orders. He has told me that I can not work for the next two years.I only quit my job 3 weeks ago and have been walking and doing yoga everyday but being very careful of house chores and how I bend my kness etc. I did 5 hours of housework yesterday and I could barely move afterward. Am I ever going to work full time again?
