FYI We all take Paracetamol to help us. I can't post the link on here but there is an urgent recall notice on their own brand. Please check all packets you have as they contain Aspirin and not Paracetamol. Perhaps Admin could post the link on here? There is a specific batch and expiry date number and doesn't affect all…
Hello everyone, I have had osteoarthritis since my 30's in my back but now in my hands, knees, neck and feet. I have recently been diagnosed as also having psoriatic arthritis. Finding it hard to deal with all the pain the flare ups give me. I have started methotrexate on 13th January, hoping this will help. Was told for…
Hi All, I have recently found that MRI and X-rays show I have very little cartilage under my right knee cap. It’s become very painful and now been given Naproxen to help, x2 500mg not really helping. I do martial arts and should be competing in a national competition in September 2025, I fear that problems will get worse…
Hi, I'm new to the group and would really welcome some help / advice. I have been diagnosed with severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee and am waiting for a date for a TKR. Over the past year, I have seen a private physio (NHS was taking forever to send date!), and am still seeing her about every 4 weeks; I have…
Hi. I've recently had both big toes fused. The first beginning of December 24, the second beginning February 25. I'm feeling really down with this second one, wearing that shoe weeks on end. The first scar is still sore and the second fusion is only just over 3 weeks ago. I know it's early but my feet are sore and I just…
Hi everyone. I have had a couple of x-rays last week show that i have Mild Osteoarthritis in both big toe joints. To give you a bit of background, I must admit to never really looking after myself too well and I have been prone to some gout flare ups over the last 5 years. (I am a bit overweight but I could run) I have…
Hi everyone, 👋🏻 thank you for letting me join, I have enjoyed reading all your stories. I’m having my hip replacement on 15th Dec with a spinal block. Now I know this may seem unusual but this I find really exciting. The nurse at my pre op asses said I could have as much or as little sedation as I want, but tbh I don’t…
I have arthritis in my hands and as a lifelong professional pianist am keeping them exercised and trying to prevent them getting worse (diet, turmeric, etc). Can still play okay - for now. I'm late seventies. However, although mostly painfree, I have hugely swollen, bony elbows which seemed to have crept up on me. It has…

Hi would like to know if anyone has a good experience with Leflunomide?… This will be my 3rd attempt at Medication. My first was sulfazalazine which resulted in Neutropenia after 4 weeks and a 5 day spell in hospital. Second was methotrexate injections which I tolerated but the side effects on 15mg for the first 14 weeks…
