Newbie, hello
Hi everyone
I’ve just joined and hoping to gain some new friends. I’ve had arthritis for about 25 years now. Recently been told it’s in my spine. At the moment I have the most horrendous pain from it. If anyone has any ideas or tips how to help with this I would be so grateful.
thank you Nikki

Hi @Nicnoo (Nikki) and welcome to the Versus Arthritis forum. You’ve come to the right place to meet other people in a similar situation to your own.
I see that you have had arthritis for many years, experience ongoing pain and are after any advice that may help you.
I don’t know if you’ve already visited our main website but there may be some useful information there for example on pain management. These links may interest you:

I have OA in my spine as well as other problems, I find the most comfortable position to be in is in my recliner with my legs up and the back of the chair at about 45 degrees.
