Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone has had experience with methotrexate injections? Basically I've been on Methotrexate for a while and it's working joint wise but the side effects are unbearable so they've agreed to switch me to injections. It takes about three weeks for the injectables to come through and I've been told…
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with moderate to severe osteoarthritis in my right hand. I am obviously really upset about this as I am only 54 and I still work. I have two jobs and they both involve primarily computer and mouse work. I really don't know what to do? My GP has just prescribed painkillers. I am looking at…
I have recently been to see my GP and she has said that it looks like I have Arthritis in my knee following a meniscus tear in June of this year. I have swelling around my knee.

I just wanted to post to say how sad I am. I don’t need any replies I just want to moan with people who may understand how I am feeling. I have Osteoarthritis in my right knee and I am finding the pain to be quite severe despite medication. I don’t think I’m coming to terms with how it is affecting my everyday life. I’m 56…
I've just been diagnosed with Osteo in my knee. I must admit I was a bit shocked at 56 as I still in my mind feel 21. I've got crutches from the physio but I think I need just a walking stick or a pole as they are too clumsy and only really need one. What do you think pole or stick. Anymore advice would be welcomed xxx
