I am riddled with arthritis
The pain affects me every day. On top of having arthritis I also suffer with Fibromyalgia. The constant pain gets me down.

Thank you
Its those days when no amount of pain killers, heat pads or just resting by laying down helps. I also suffer with Fibromyalgia which both exacerbates and affects my osteoarthritis.

Hi @monty1961
Love the name.
Nice to meet you. Some days are just like the one you're having today. Those are the days when I take it very very easy (no choice really) and find something to do which takes nothing from me and might distract. Rubbish TV/the radio that sort of thing.
I take my tablets as prescribed Use my wheatbag and tens machine. Add my MSN gel where I can reach and just get through the day.
I hope things are a lot better for you tomorrow ((()))
Take care
