Hi all, newbie here. I had a double Midfoot fusion on 4/3/25. RHR in 2014, followed by LHR 2021. My recovery from this op is certainly much tougher than the hips. Boredom is the main issue as I’m no weight bearing for 6weeks. A knee scooter has been a true godsend. Clips out tomorrow and my fifth cast to be put on (I hope…
Hi, I fractured my spine last March, in two places, they fortunately have healed but I have since been diagnosed with degenerative arthritis and have osteopenia. My lower back is very painful and I'm using morphine patches which helps as long as I don't do anything! In the last week or two I've noticed pain in my fingers…
I am 24 years old and I have Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Migraines, IBS, and Urticaria.

Hello All, Has anyone seen adverts for bee venom cream? And if so, has anyone tried it? It might be just another 'try this and dispel all pain and boney growth' myths! Most of them are! Just wondered if it would be a complete waste of money. Oh, and yes, it is advertised on Facebook. 😏😊 Thanks
Hi, I have been on hydroxychloroquine for about 8 months now and I think my hair is lighter ( or it could be me going grey!) has anyone had highlights professionally done or should I avoid? Thanks for any advice!
I’m finding it increasingly difficult to garden with neck arthritis as bending over results in pain later in the day. I do exercises with weights and resistance bands and have cut down medication to a minimum. May be my gardening days are over !!

HI, I'm new to the group. I've been diagnosed with osteoarthritis since August 2023 but I've had fibromyalgia for 26 years. I had the fibromyalgia well under control for about 20 years through diet and exercise. I was an exercise freak running half marathons and walking miles every day. Don't get me wrong it floored me at…
I am 45. I have had my right big toe fused and my left one needed a chielectomy and ostomy. I am in pain all the time. I broke my wrist badly a few years ago and my finger. I had surgery on my knee 20 years ago where they reported my kneecap was spiky instead of smooth. My consultant told me at my last appointment that I…
