    Hello@Marg69,

    Welcome to the online community. I hope you find support and encouragement from the friendly members here - all our members have experienced arthritis and can understand the joint pain you are experiencing. I see that your pain and muscle weakness is increasing, so it might be appropriate to check with your GP or Consultant whether your medication needs a review. They also may be able to refer you to a Pain clinic where options including medication and physiotherapy are considered.

    The Versus Arthritis website has some information about managing your pain that you might find useful. Here's the link: https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/managing-symptoms/managing-your-pain/

    Sometimes it helps to talk to a sympathetic listener. Our helplines are open from 9am-6pm Monday to Friday, and the advisors will be able to give you tailored information and advice.

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on,
