Hi!
I am new to this site but not to osteoarthritis, which I have had for more than 15 years. However, it's much worse now and I find it difficult to stand and to walk, as it is really painful. My husband has recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in one knee, and my adult daughter has been told that she has rheumatoid arthritis. So arthritis seems to have really got hold of us!
I'm here for advice and support, and to support other people. So, hello!

Hello @TheGreyMouser and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that that will be your experience as well.
I understand that you and your husband have osteoarthritis and your daughter has rheumatoid arthritis. Our website has a lot of useful information and a good search and I would recommend having a look around it. To help I've put a couple of links in below which might be of interest.
You can also search, for example, on a particular joint.
Please do keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and I am sure that others will connect with you to share their experience and support as well.
With very best wishes
Peter (moderator)
