Psoriatic arthritis and Osteoarthritis

rawglo

Glad to be here, I have had one type of arthritis and then a couple more types added to it over years. I am sure I will have a lot of questions over the next days and weeks.

Thanks for allowing my participation. Rawglo

According to a rheumatologist I saw last year my PsA has led to both my knees developing OA now.

Hi @Flojo welcome to the online community,

Sorry @rawglo to hijack your post.

Flojo good to hear from you, with both types of arthritis diagnosed over fifteen years and 2 knee replacements I expect you have lots of ways that you cope with daily life. Like many of our members it is great to share your experiences with those who have been newly diagnosed.

You have links to PsA and OA in the above post so I thought you might be interested in one of the posts from members who have had knee replacements and who are supporting others.

We look forward to hearing from you and maybe you can give us some tips from your own experience.

Best wishes
