Hi, can anyone suggest a brand of shoe which is good for knee arthritis sufferers?
I have been borrowing my son's electronic muscle stimulating device this week, I won't mention the brand, but I have find it really helpful for my knees. I was sceptical as I have tried similar things before, but I have found it very helpful in relieving stiffness and helping knee bend. I wondered if anyone else has tried…
Hi, I am new to this site and fairly new to RA! I started experiencing pains in my shoulders 18 months ago and my Doctor said it may be arthritis and referred me to a consultant on the NHS whose waiting list was 36 weeks. The pain was so bad and no medication prescribed by the doctor so I had no choice but to go private…
Ok, I'm asking for pocket duties again but this one is an early call, 8.00am next Monday. It's for injections to my neck and shoulders under a local as far as I can tell. As I can't eat after 1 am that morning I think a full english breakfast afterwards will be called for. It's in a private hospital so at least they have…

I had a nice surprise today, in that I got a letter from my hospital with an appointment for my MRI scan on the 23rd of this month. Not bad, considering I saw the consultant only on monday, however there is a good reason for this - it's at a private clinic. I'm in no way complaining, but it's a shame that more and more…
