Hello - has anyone been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis please? Duffer.
Hi everyone I've just joined this community as I'm desperate to keep up-to-date with all the latest research into my health conditions. I feel especially let down by my GP who is at best disinterested and at worst dismissive about fibromyalgia.
Hi, I'm Kaz - I am currently 51 years old and I have OA, and Fibromyalgia amongst other things! I am currently going through an extremely bad OA flare. My hands in particular are a total nightmare - this is certainly not helping the fact that I have to use crutches to get around. I am hoping to get my doctor to finally let…
Hi recently diagnosed with moderate to severe patellofemoral osteoarthritis in right knee , I’ve done lots of mountain walking up until October last year when this flared up, I’m guessing my hill walking days are over and I’m after any information from other keen walkers in a similar position who somehow continue to walk…
I was so happy to know that I was about to have my hip replacement surgery. I was told it would be available in September but that was delayed until 21st November, that date was cancelled on the 20th (24 hrs before the procedure) I was devastated to say the least.

A rheumatologist told me that bursitis was all part of fibromyalgia (from which I also suffer),…
Hi It's been a while since I've been on here. I *think* I may have come down with a virus.

What's different which makes me wonder if it's a virus is that I have totally gone off my food,…
My carpal tunnel has been affecting my mood. I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I hate having to use my hands to grip things, hold doors, every thing I use with my hands is a constant pain I don't want to think about. I have no idea how to stop this
I'm 76 and have osteoarthritis in various joints, including disc degeneration in my spine. A few months ago I woke up one morning with terrible pain and stiffness around my neck and left shoulder. I also had pins and needles down my arm and into my hand. I saw a physiotherapist attached to my health centre who diagnosed…
