Just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Has shown up in knees on xray but feeling it in every joint.

Came on rapidly, starting in summer.

Suspected rheumatoid or fibromyalgia.

I'm a teacher and mum to a young child. Very shocked and scared.

    Hello @creakymcjointface welcome to the online community.

    You had posted this to your 'wall' I hope it's ok that I've moved it over here so people see it and may respond to you.

    I can see from your post how shocked and frightened you are by the sudden onset of symptoms. Feeling as you do is really so normal so much that Versus Arthritis put this together for people newly diagnosed:

    I hope you are gong to see a consultant soon to establish which type of arthritis you have.

    I'll leave you now to hear from some of our members

    Best wishes

    Ellen.
