In this episode I'm speaking to leading rheumatologist Professor Hasan Tahir, about just why we experience joint pain as we age, and what menopause has to do with it. We're going to discuss everything from common aches and pains right through to conditions such as degenerative disc disease, osteopenia, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia. I want to use this episode to help you understand more about how you can get the right diagnosis for you, plus the range of treatment options including standard pain relief and lifestyle measures, and when to know when it's time to seek more specialist help.
Professor Tahir is an award winning specialist in rheumatology, sports medicine and general medicine. He is a consultant at the Royal Free London NHS Trust with several private clinics, and is actively involved in the latest research and the use of new treatments in arthritis. He's been a TV presenter of Life Health Show, and is actively involved in humanitarian work overseas.
