Hello @Vivian and welcome to the online community,

You’ve just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the neck and are interested in finding out more information about it. Most of our members live with arthritis of some sort, and they’re a friendly and supportive group so you’re in good company!

A good place to start in your search for information is the Versus Arthritis website. Here’s an introductory page on osteoarthritis that you might find useful to understand more about the condition:

Other members may have suggestions and tips about how to manage arthritis in the neck, and here’s another link to some gentle stretching exercises that help to relieve pain and strengthen the muscles to support your neck. I have personally found them very useful:

Do have a look round the forum and join in any conversations when you feel comfortable.
