Hi

I am new here

Hello @Ranagh9 and welcome to the Community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.

We normally try and provide information to a new member about how arthritis affects them so if you would like to share whatever you are comfortable with then please do so and others will likely then connect with you to share their support and experience as well. In the meantime I've put a couple of links in below from our website which may be of interest.

and

Please keep posting and let us know how you are getting on

With very best wishes
