Recently diagnosed with OA

Hi @jenniferbegg Welcome to the versus arthritis forum. 

I see that you have recently been diagnosed with OA.

Well you’ve definitely come to the right place to meet with others who have found themselves on a similar journey.

When joining the forum it’s normal to use your first post to give some background on what brings you here, for example, the nature of your arthritis, perhaps some of your symptoms and what do you hope to gain from joining the forum. This enables other forum members to engage with you on a more meaningful basis. I have published your first post but suggest that you elaborate a little with a second post, if you feel happy to do so. 

If you haven’t visited our website you may find these articles useful:

Please feel free to contribute to any post on Living With Arthritis and other forums. Also, do start a new one there, if you have a question, clearly titled so that others can easily see what you'd like to talk about.

I hope that you find joining the forum beneficial.

Best Wishes
