Hello

Tiggerkaz

50 and struggling to come to terms with my arthritis. Hello to those who know what the daily struggle is like.

Ellen

Morning @Tiggerkaz welcome to the Versus Arthritis online community.

I see from your post that you are struggling to come to terms with having Arthritis. I have just replied to another new person who is recently diagnosed. It can come as a huge shock and coping with day-to-day pain can be very tough. I'm glad you have found the Online Community because everyone here understands how you feel.

While you wait for someone to come along and say hello I am going to give you a couple of links to read which might be of interest to you:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/managing-symptoms/managing-your-pain/

and

Now that you've introduced yourself you might like to take a look around the rest of the forum. One of the most popular categories is Living with Arthritis. Just join in any existing threads or start one of your own.

Best wishes

Ellen.
