Had confirmed what I'd suspected when at the hospital yesterday , I too have 2 varieties of arthritis . Rheumatoid and Osteo ! Apparently the OA has arisen due to the damage caused by 32 years of RA . I know that many of you already have more than 1 sort of this pestilence but didn't intend to join in just yet . Guess I always have disliked being left out ! Jillyb

Welcome to the club, jillyb. I'd love to say it was an exclusive one but, alas, any club that'll have me in it..... :roll:
Did it come as a shock or were you half expecting it? I must say, 32 years sounds like a good run for your money but I did my first 10 years or more on anti-inflamms alone (with the odd steroid course) so my OA was always going to set in early.
I hope you don't find things much worse than before. It's a pain, I guess. End of.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
