Hi , I have just joined up ,

I have arthritis in both hands and osteoarthritis in both knees. The pain can be intense at times.

I wear Imak compression knee sleeves and compresssion gloves at night for the pain, and occasionally during the day, depending on what Im doing, for me they work really well.

Having always been fit and active , its been hard not being able to do the things I used to, but focusing on the things I can do and taking the positive out of everyday helps a lot.

    Hi @Misty

    It's good to meet you, you sound like a very positive person, I try to do that too, some days are harder than others. I just wanted to point you in the direction of the chit chat area where they have discussion on gardening and pets and things like that, in case they would suit you too. IF you have a hobby that's not listed do start one, we used to have a regular quiz and a book club that I miss, although I didn't usually join in I enjoyed seeing what was going on and getting book ideas is always great.

    The other thing I do lots is check out the living with arthritis area and see if I can offer support somewhere every time I log in, I know how pleased I was when members helped me when I had a new knee

    See you around

    xx
