Welcome to the forum. You have just been told you have arthritis and you are in pain in a number of joints, that must be confusing and worrying too.
I hope you have found some pain relief that you can tolerate, there are over the counter ones and also ones your GP can prescribe to help.
Do you know which type of arthritis you have? This is the link to the conditions area of the VersusArthritis website. Click on the initial letter of your arthritis, then scroll down to select your type.

Pain and stiffness is a factor of living with arthritis and it is hard to live with. I am lucky to be retired so I can manage my OA more easily with exercise and rest. Mine is in both ankles, both knees, both hips, both wrists and one shoulder. I find the cold and damp can make it worse, do you? DD
