Hi Rebekah,

Thanks for your post to Helplines. Although arthritis can be treated and often controlled, getting a diagnosis is still hard. If you'd like to talk things over we are here. Supportwise the living with arthrits and young people forums are fantastic too.

If you'd like some more information about managing arthritis you are welcome to private message us with your name and address and we can post you some.

Arthritis involves ups and downs for everyone, but the early stage can be difficult, so we want to be able to help.

All the best

Guy
