New to Versus Arthritis
I've had osteoarthritis for some time but it now seems to be affecting more joints and is increasingly painful. Just looking to see how others manage this condition.

It's a tough one to manage, trying to find some alternative treatments and self management is the key but it can be mine field. Here's some info to hopefully help while you await other members input.

Morning @GAnnie
Nice to meet you.
We all manage our arthritis in lots of different ways; pain relief, anti-inflammatories (creams/gels or tablets), tens machines, exercise and my favourite for the bits of mine with are osteoarthritis a microwavable wheatbag.
I walk daily even if it's only a short walk I don't know whether you are able to manage any exercise, but it really does help me.
Ask us anything if we can help we will.😊
Take care
