Has anyone else developed bunionettes on the sides of their feet below the little toe after big toe fusion? I have and am so disappointed after the pain of 2 operations and desperately wanting to feel well.
There's a event lined up by the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society on Wednesday 28th May in conjunction with the Royal Osteoporosis Society to discuss, amongst others things, the links between the two conditions. Will also be available on youtube afterwards. For anyone with osteoperosis, I can thoroughly recommend the…
HI everyone. I was diagnosed with PA in January after several years back and forth to my GP. I was put on methotrexate orally but have now switched to subcut due to nausea. I did initially feel better but now don't feel the metho is working at all. The fatigue is overwhelming and pain hasn't improved at all. Does anyone…

My local hospital ran tests and found nothing out of the ordinary. Medical staff believe that there is a strain on my calf muscle due to the osteoarthritis in my knee. I just wondered if…
Has anyone tried prolotherapy injections? Do they work? A quick Google search brought up lots of promising studies on prolotherapy effectiveness for treating osteoarthritis pain - better efficacy than both exercise and cortisone injections.
Hi all, Here because the GP thinks I may well have some form of arthiritis. Story is that I'm 60 years old and pretty fit. Existing long term conditions of type 1 diabetes and osteoperosis. About July last year I started getting achy knees but nothing really to worry about. I run so thought it was just a temporary thing…
