Hello! I got diagnosed with RA in March 2024 after my symptoms started in December 2023. The last 6 months have been a whirlwind of medication and lifestyle changes which I am slowly adjusting too. I have been on triple therapy now for around 8 weeks with no difference- I feel like I’m in a constant flare up! the good news…
Hi, I had a wrist replacement in 2012 which has now come to the end of its life. I am now on the waiting list for a wrist fusion. Has anyone had this procedure and how are you managing after? Thanks in advance
Do you stop above biologics for the week you have flu vaccination and Covid booster vaccination. I am trying to work out the best way to do this . I inject methotrexate weekly (Saturday) and adalimumdab every other week (Wednesdays). Thanks for any advice would be grateful.
Hi! It’s been 3 years since I had my Trapeziectomy and I’ve developed a lump on the side of my scar. I noticed it a month ago and it’s grown to about the size of a pea. It doesn’t hurt (hopefully it won’t ever hurt), and it’s kind of hard. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone knows what it is.…
Hi. I’ve been taking methotrexate since November 2020 when I was diagnosed with RA. I swapped to metoject nearly 2 years ago as the tablets were making me feel sick.

I will shortly be starting biologics and would like to know how others have found them. Is there a particular time of day to inject? Is it better to eat before injecting? These are just some of the questions I have been thinking about. If anyone one has any advice or suggestions I would be very grateful. Thank you.
I have been suffering knee pain since 10 months and tried almost everything but not recovered. Pain shoots after every week and makes life task difficult. Walking is almost difficult so cannot move outside and travel long enough. Even cannot stand long enough to make food etc. Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks Arooj…
Hi Advice needed I am due to have my 1st Adalimumab injection this week as I live about 3hrs from my consultant they have arranged for Health Net to deliver and send out a nurse to show me how to inject so I was shocked when Health net said the nurse is not coming to see me but show me how to do the injection via video…
Is there anyone out there that followed along a baseline method devised by the NHS Pain Management Course that suggests you cut down more than half of the exercises you normally do? The reason for asking is that it has made me a lot worse as I have lost so much more strength that I have never been able to recuperate it and…
