Living well with arthritis

MarionJ77

Good morning. I have been living with osteoarthritis for several years. I'm looking forward to hearing what others say about their condition and for some advice on dealing with it.

Welcome to the community Marionjclark,

Everybody here is in pretty much the same boat as you to varying degrees. If it is advice you're looking for and there's anything specific, just ask away. It would be helpful to know more about your condition so members can be more targeted with their comments.

I'm sure one of the mods will introduce themselves in time with some links to sections on the website but there's a lot of very useful information you can check out in the meantime to understand your condition, options for pain management, diet, exercise and so forth.

Take care,

Jon
