Hi I'm 28yr old female with Psoriatic Arthritis (diagnosed last Nov) & possibly Sjogrens (waiting to see Rheumy again to confirm but my GP says ticking all the symptom boxes :( ) I have PsA in 4 joints, it's been really hard adjusting to it all. I've always been fiercely independent and my coping mechanisms to date have…
For almost 30 years I have been suffering from neck pains, after 6 years of being sent for different tests including one 'specialist' telling me I was too young/ imagining the pain/numbness/pins & needles and lack of strength in my arms and hands. I was finally diagnosed with damaged discs in my spine c5 & c6. No operation…
Hi, have joined this group as I am having a really difficult day today. As well as every joint being painful I have sore bones ,uscles and nerve pain. Nothing as yet diagnosed bar R knee and L thumb. I have a leg length discrepancy which was only diagnosed at 50 and all problems stem from there. Every movement hurts. Sorry…
Hi folks, My name is Kevin, I'm 38, reasonably fit (until recently) and am worried that I may have some type of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'll try to explain why I think I may have RA. It may take a while though so I hope you're sitting comfortably! :wink: Just over a year ago, I started getting pain and stiffness in my right…
Hello All. My name is Lynne and I have been suffering from Osteoarthritis for about eight years now, also have Fibromyalgia to add to the pains! I am looking forward exchanging views with people in similar situations and hopefully learning from them I live by the sea in Margate, Kent. I love the sun. Can't get enough of…

I've been in a massive amount of pain since Jan 1981, 24/7 from a neck accident, which affected my lumbar region and collapsed L2/L3. Last December, my surgeon operated on my lower back L1 to L5 for 8 hrs. Now I am in less pain due to the op, but now it's really bad due to R.A. (I think). waiting for blood test results now.
hi, Im 43 and was diagnosed moderate OA last year. Ive had keyhole surgery on both knees in the last 12 months. My doctor says I've had it many years. I can't accept this as I was ok 18 months ago. I work as a postman and love my job. Don't know how long I'll be able to it for. Has anyone else had symptoms that came on…
Hi, I'm always one to join forums but never participate :) I've recently been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, I'm 29 years old and have 2 children, 3 and 1. Pains started in my wrists and spread to pretty much all my joints :cry: It's been an emotional rollercoaster, with late diagnosis due to negligent Gps and late…
