in Living with arthritis

Hi all, new member, I have just been diagnosed with ankle arthritis ( osteoarthritis ) I'm a male aged 57 always be active ( walking a cycling )

But struggling at the moment with the pain. Been prescribed pain relief (cocodanol 15mg) which helps me get through my working day but is making me very tired in the evening. So asking for advice on pain relief verses quality of life ie less pain but just sleeping

Thanks

    Hi @daza1968 welcome to the online community.

    You had accidentally posted on your wall so it wasn't visible to our members. I have copied it over here l hope that's ok.

    I see from your post that you have a recent diagnosis of arthritis in your ankle(s)? Your current medication co-codamol is making you feel tired in the evenings.

    This article might be of interest to you?

    Hopefully someone will come along soon and share their own experience of managing their pain.

    Best wishes

    Ellen.
