Hello 👋

Coombs

Hi my name is Colin I'm 57, just been diagnosed with having rheumatoid arthritis. It's effecting every joint in my body but not all at the same time. I've never felt so much pain. It seems that it's constantly in both of my ankles

Not sure if this has happened with anyone but all this started just after I had my 1st covid vaccine back in March, I've mentioned it to my doctor but they said that it could be that.

I'm having to wait 6 weeks to see the specialist has to what happens next.
