Is there a athritis community in Essex? More specifically in the Chelmsford area?
Hi my name is Conchetta and I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I am 53 and until a few months ago I was very fit and active.

My knee replacement is tomorrow am. My anxiety is so bad I keep crying because I’m so afraid
