Hello, my name is Jonathan, and I have arthritis. I can't believe how painful and restricting it has become in everything I do recently. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thankyou

Hello @jonathanmcole welcome to the online community,

You have arthritis and are experiencing pain and restrictions in your daily life. You are hoping for some help with dealing with this. The community offers a safe place to share your experiences of living with arthritis and our members provide an amazing range of peer support to each other.

You don't say what type of arthritis you have or what treatment you are undergoing. We value your contribution so if and when you feel able to share do post again. Meanwhile I attach some links which I hope you will find useful

You mention swimming in another post and I agree with you that it is a great way to exercise whilst relieving the strain on joints.
