Hello all, As in the Paul Simon song, that’s what I’m doing at times … slip sliding with an arthritic knee! I’ve been an athlete all my adult life: competitive cycling/running, long hiking everywhere including the Alps so, as many would like to say … you deserve all you get with complaining joints that are falling apart!!…

I am so thankful to have found this place. I have no one to ask for advice, as I know no one with arthritis. I am in constant pain, taking over-the-counter meds to ease the pain.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to say hi, as I'm a newbie, having just joined today. I wanted to have a good old moan about all the little things that I can't do with what I believe is RH (I've given blood tests, and had ultrasounds of my hands and elbow, but still awaiting diagnosis from the rheumatologist). Not only to get it…
