Chronic pain, arthritis and mental health

Hello @Samc2 welcome to the online community,

We are a friendly group whose lives are affected by living with arthritis ,we are here to support you, your family and friends as we all learn more about ways to cope. You don't say which sort of arthritis affects you so I attach a generic link which helps explain some of the different types of arthritis and the treatments available. When you have had a chance to browse round the site you will see that there are lots of discussions and activities to interest you.

I attach some links to mental well being and to chronic pain management

I hope you find this information interesting and also that some of our members will share their experiences with you. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes
