    ooh, I hope they clear up soon.

    Apart from the itchy bumps - did you have a good holiday?

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Hi Deborah Jane

    I hope you had a lovely holiday despite your rash....

    I also hope it was nothing to do with the arthritis but could well have been some sort of photosensitivity maybe?? Was it gorgeously sunny :?:

    LOve

    i hope you enjoyed your hoilday,

    your rash sounds like it could be prickly heat, maybe some of your meds make you a bit more sencetive to the sun. my friend suffers with it.
