Hi @Gwyneth11 firstly let me welcome you to the forum I hope you find the information and support you are after from our wonderful community.

I can see from your post that you have had previously had knee replacements and now waiting for you hip to be done. I can see that you are after help with exercise as you have been advised that for the procedure you need to lose some weight.

The site is full of information and I wanted to signpost you to some information leaflets that could help, linked to exercises for patients with arthritis.

Also some hints and tips on preparing for surgery.

Take care and I hope you get some relief and the procedure soon.

Thanks

Hello!

Living with RA- learning more and more about this condition (even tho I was disganosed 9 years ago.) and my body everyday! Grateful for finding this online community!

just started Rinvoq as main treatment after Orencia infusions and countless other treatments failed to do their job. I am feeling hopeful with this medication! Also on prednisone and hoping to get off that sooner vs later.
