    Hi @King23

    Welcome to the online community and thank you for joining us. I hope that you will find this a safe and friendly space where you will continue to post.

    So you have had arthritis for many years but it wasn't until recently where you were told it was osteoarthritis.

    Do you have it in many joints or specific ones? I can be a shock to some when a new diagnosis is given or a condition changes over time. How are you coping with the news?

    I've included a couple of links below that give you a bit more information about osteoarthritis as well as our helpline number if you want to talk with someone.

    Please do let us know how you are getting on and if you have any questions, than don't hesitate to ask. Also, feel free to join in where you want. We're always looking to make new friends.

    Take care
