I have severe arthritis in both knees, I'm almost 70 years old.5years ago I a told I could be out on the waiting list for replacement knees,I wasn't in pain then so didn't go on the list.

Hello, my rheumatologist has put me on biological treatment with fortnightly injection of Adalimumab as Ive been diagnosed with seronegative inflammatory arthritis. I’m seeing my dentist tomorrow and worried about any dental intervention. I read this can interact with the medication. Any advice on how to proceed please? Thx

HI everyone, I'm new to this forum and thought I'd post my story in case anyone has had a similar experience and can give any advice I was diagnosed with JIA aged 11 following years of eye problems. It only affected one joint - my right knee - and was never a massive problem. It came and went for a few years then i went…

Just been newly diagnosed with knee oa but found my doctor wasn't clear explaining what exercise could be done and tbh im actually struggling with this diagnosis as i dont know how this has came about.
Hi I have been looking at your research wondering I I should or could be part of it. I was disappointed to see that the upper age limit is between 65 and 69. Why is this, surely quality of life for over 70s would help reduce care costs etc.
