Hi Andy, Welcome to the community.
You were diagnosed with RA 12 months ago and you are looking for help and advice. Hopefully we will be able to help. There are things you can try that may help with managing pain, this includes increasing your exercise, the use of complementary therapies and making sure you are on the correct treatments. I have added a couple of links below to information on the VA website
Please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on
Thanks
Helen, Admin

Hi Helen.
Thank you very much for the welcome, and the information.
I've not started any medication as yet. I have had 3 follow up appointments with the rhumatologist cancelled by the hospital in the last 6 months, so I'm kind of on my own in that respect and trying natural supplements, along with dietary changes (& exercise when my pain allows).
I'm also hoping I can make some contacts on here, ideally local to Wigan/Bolton areas
