Hi all,😔 I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis last week only and feeling so overwhelmed with all the information and the effects it would have on me for my future life. I am 40 yrs old and always been very physically active and not sure if i would be able to continue that. I am not on any drugs as of now and…
Hi, I have been diagnosed with RA for 3 years. In that time I have slowed down a lot, which is totally infuriating. I've also noticed in recent weeks that I have watery eyes. It comes and goes, but wondered if it could be linked to the RA, since this condition is often referred to as Rheumy eyes. Have any of you suffered…
My biggest regret was not playing sports from a young age, so I picked up running as a hobby 5 years ago when I was 20. Shortly after, I got injured. The issue is the injury never healed, and I had to spend thousands of dollars and a ton of PTO seeing a bunch of doctors and PT. I eventually saw a doctor who ordered a MRI…

Hi, I'm new to this forum and site - am so glad to have found such a useful site. I have had Osteoarthritis for about 2 years in the hips (I suspect maybe shoulder too occasionally).

I ended up having my 2nd injection of the HA series mixed with cortisone last Thursday. In the mean time, I have continued using Ibuprofen for pain management in the…
I have been recently diagnosed by Royal Free Hospital with carpal tunnel in both wrists. I’m seeing my local gp next week to discuss results from the tests I have done, and I am expecting they will say day surgery. Has anyone else had CT surgery before on their wrists, what can I expect, how long is recovery? I also have…
I was referred to the MSK team a few months ago as I was having problems with OA on my right foot. However, the physio I saw at my surgery, who referred me, said that, as I had OA in numerous joints and was also concerned about my neck, that they would do a full assessment when I saw them and I was happy about this. I'm 79…
Hi all, I have constant pain due to hip dysplasia and back issues and dr just kept saying your on alot of meds when I tried to say about my joint pain. Saw a physio who said its muscular, your stressed and your muscles are tight but I knew it wasn't that. I finally had a xray which shows severe arthritis in my shoulders,…
Hi Everyone, First post from me. Following failed attempts with DMARDS, I have been started on Amgevita this week. I had high hopes after the research I did but have been struggling with side effects of nausea, dizziness and headache. I have read through other posts where most people describe no side effects or severe…
