First of all, I'll apologise for not been so active here for a while, just been really busy with work (we've had a lot of announcements and my job security aint looking great). I have my pain clinic appointment at my local hospital this Saturday, so if anyone is free for pocket duties for moral support, it would be a help.…
Well, I've slowly plodded on with the recovery from my TKR which was 30th January. Still recovering and still have some issue with the knee. Most notably stiffness, swelling and pain. I've been liaising with work to plan my return to work and agreed for first two weeks I'd do shorter days when I do full days (Mondays and…
Evening, hope you're all as well as can be. I'd hoped to get away before my TMJ replacement operation but it's not looking likely in terms of time scales and work. So, I'm planning a winter sun break in November. I can't get insured while I'm awaiting the op but I don't need to book yet anyway. I've heard that travel…

It's not painful particularly but uncomfortable and seems odd! I'm currently taking prednisolene 7.5mg a day and have been taking…
Is it normal to experience absolutely crippling mind numbing exhaustion by the early afternoon? I have been finding, for the past few weeks, by 1-3pm I am so tired I can't think straight and have to sit down and rest. Is this part of arthritis? I have finally got my referral to rheumatology next Wednesday, and was…
Hi, for a few months I have been looking for answers to the aches and pains I am having. All over but most especially my legs. I had physio and that helped to a degree. Physio said I had OA but 6 weeks later my GP said physio was wrong and that my X rays show almost no evidence of wear and tear. So, several blood tests…
