Hi all. I have had both right and left hand carpal tunnel surgery this year. Right in February and left in June. I also had a left ulnar transposition surgery done at the elbow in 2023. I still have some symptoms of carpal tunnel, but not as bad as before the surgeries. The surgeon said it can take a year or two for things…
A little about me - I’m a 38 year old, white British male and I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis when I was 21 - my left knee became very swollen after a squash game. I had it aspirated and then begun my treatment journey - 10 years of Methotrexate, then various anti-TNF drugs and finally landed on Infliximab via IV,…
X-rays show that both my knees are ‘as bad as they are going to get’ according to the doctor. Yes, they are a bit stiff, and they ache a bit in bed at night. If I am honest they prevent me from walking far, but perhaps exercises might help that. I have been called for surgery. I am afraid of making a not too serious…

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…
Hi all had the results back from my recent blood test and my CRP levels are at 3 showing no systemic inflammation in the body however my knee is still really swollen and painful. I always assumed when the CRP levels go down so would the swelling? Has anyone had anything similar/ or can hazard a guess why the swelling is…
Hi everyone I am Janet and I am 48 and for the last 7 years or so I have had chronic pain in my left hip that was often brushed off as wear and tear, ligament pain and all other excuses, was always sent for xrays and was always told it was wear and tear, In 2019 I had a hysterectomy and felt that made it worse, I dont know…
