Hi all, I'm Bradley. I'm 26 years old, diagnosed with JIA when I was 3 years old - my right wrist is now being investigated for Osteoarthritis! It would be great to chat to others about tips and general check ins!

    Hi @BradleyDavidPhillips welcome to the online community.

    I see from your post that you've had JIA for some time and you might now have Osteoarthritis in your wrist.

    This might (or might not!) be of interest to you:

    The Young people's community does tend to be a little quieter than other categories so if you find you don't get much response to your post please do feel free to pop over there.

    Best wishes

    Ellen.

    Nice to meet you Bradley sorry to hear about your wrist.

    I am not a young person, but would have counted myself as 'younger' when this started for me. This category is usually much quieter.

    We have had people who have had wrist surgery fusions and replacements not recently but I am sure I remember them. Likely to be in the living with arthritis category, but just stick it in the search at the top right of this page.

    Take care

    Toni
