Hi folks, I never knew about this community, until my Dr sent me a leaflet. It took me a couple of hours, before I rang the office, spoke to the lovely young guy John, on the other side of the phone.Look forward to chatting to others and get tips to manage pain.

Hi @Keiri and welcome to the online community!

What a sensible GP to recommend Versus Arthritis to you - all our members are friendly, supportive and I know you will enjoy browsing the forum and reading posts from other members.

Managing pain is a topic that is discussed quite frequently in the community. Here's a link to a recent thread and you'll find plenty more if you type pain in the search bar:

You might like to have a look at the Versus Arthritis website too - I've linked to a page on managing pain where you can read about the latest treatments and some suggestions for self help.

Do have a look round the forum and join in any conversations where you feel comfortable.
