I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my neck and shoulders. My ears throb and my neck clicks when I move it. Does anyone else have this, as I'm doing exercises but it doesn't seem to help
I’ve been on MTX for relapsing Polychondritis for a while, about Six months, and I have started suffering with depression again. Fortunately I know the warning signs rather than just spiralling downwards out of control, I have realised that I am showing warning signs with my behaviour and thought process. Has anyone else…
I’m going in for my hip replacement in two weeks’ time and thought it might be helpful to share some of the preparation I’ve had to do, especially as I live alone in a house with stairs and own a cat, whose needs also have to be catered for. I’ve found the discussions on this forum really helpful for preparing, but…
Hello, I'm due to have a reverse shoulder replacement, I live alone and I can't find any practical info about how to cope afterwards -preparing meals, getting dressed, what to wear etc. I'm assuming I won't be able to get a bra on!

I did initially feel better but now don't feel the metho is working at all. The fatigue is overwhelming and pain hasn't improved at all. Does anyone…
Evening all, I mentioned previously that I’ve been struggling with Psoriatic arthritis and i also have osteoarthritis in both ankles, one of which has been partially fused but it’s been confirmed recently that both ankles are to be fully fused. The last three months or so I’ve had on flare up after another with the psa and…
I tried to paint a picture of how I really feel, but I could not find the colours to make it all seem real. Not one colour hot enough to show the burning pain, not one colour bright enough to make me wince again. Not one dark enough to show the isolation. In the end all I saw was one thin line, worn, frayed and almost…
Hello. I have a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis which is fairly well managed with biologic injections. I have had pain in my groin for over three years. I have had every scan and test there is. At the beginning I was told mild arthritic changes and an osteophyte. The groin pain is triggered by sitting upright, driving,…
