hello. I have severe OA in my left hip. I’m 45.. These threads really help but what’s I’m seeing is loads of posts with other people really suffering with Arthritis everywhere.

Hi there, I got diagnosed with RA early 2021 and was put on Hydroxychloraquine which seems to be doing a good job.

But, as I had some ALT abnormalities on my previous blood test, I was told by the rheumathology advice nurse to stop taking them for 2 weeks then do an other blood test, which…
Oh. No painkillers for a week, which has only happened once before. I am not sure how although I do feel somewhat stronger and free of flare ups.
