New Here
Hi, I recently started getting so much pain in my fingers, toes, feet, knees. GP did bloods and was positive for RA, xrays show OA, appointment to see Rheumatology 16th May. I am finding the pain harder to manage every day, what will happen at my first appointment? Questions for me to ask? I am worried as I have had cancer in the past, I am also immuneosuppressed due to no spleen. Sorry for all the questions but I am feeling so overwhelmed, I work full time, Hubby does not help in the house and I am so tired and struggling to clean and run the house and my job. I am so weepy, thank you for reading, any advice will be so welcome. Bobbie x

Hello @bobbie28 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that wil be your experience as well.
I hop ethat your visit to Rheumatology goes well and gives you the answers you need. Have a look at our website as it contains a lot of useful information which might help. Key Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid into the search. To help I've put a couple of links in below which might be of interest.
and
Please keep posting and let us know how you are getting on.
Best wishes
Peter
