Hello

Waverley11

Good morning, painful osteoarthritis came on suddenly after a fall. I'm struggling with pain management, work, elderly parent etc. I'm hoping to find some help here!

Thanks

Hello @Waverley11 and welcome to the Community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.

I understand that you have arthritis and struggling with pain management as well as elderly parents and other aspects of life. This is a safe place to ask your questions, get help and advice from others in a similar situation. If you let us know how arthritis affects you we can provide more info, e.g. hip, knee etc. In the meantime have a look at the following articles from our website which might be of help.
