Hello @John125,
Welcome to the online community! Feel free to browse the forum and join in whenever you feel comfortable. All our members have experience of living with arthritis - why don't you tell us a bit more about yourself and what sort of arthritis you have?
Best wishes,

Hi Anna, I’m coming up for 64 years old, retired and have osteoarthritis in both knees, diagnosed about 4 years ago. Currently stuck with an inflammation/flare up in one knee, which is not pleasant. Also suspect arthritis in an elbow that I can’t straighten, which has been previously diagnosed as Golfers’ Elbow and the beginnings of arthritic pain in both thumbs.
I have physiotherapy exercises to do, which I have let lapse, like many others I suspect, but following discussion with my GP, have picked it up again. Hopefully this site will assist me with learning to accommodate the condition.
