I had a steroid injection about 16 months ago which worked almost immediately. I have since had another due to returning pain in my right shoulder and also down my arm into my hand.

Fed up today. When it hurts to walk, I am less motivated to do things. My knee had been the main issue but now my hip hurts too (both on the left). Back to physio in 12 days whilst I'm waiting for my orthopaedic appointment to come through!!

Although, she is coping, I can see it is hard for her. I have copd as well but that is under control. I don't know how far advanced the…
Hi all Just joined the forum. I have had Psoriatic Arthritis for 23 years and started on Methotrexate yesterday. It would be nice to get to know people who understand how hard it is mentally and physically. Going for a nose around. Pls say Hello 👋🏻

After a few months of taking methotrexate and Lefluonmide, it feels like the pain and inflammation is getting under control. This morning though, he woke up in…
Hello, I have severe osteoarthritis in my left ankle, but can still walk 3 - 5 miles cross country and, more importantly, can cycle.
