Osteoarthritis plus Fibromyalgia
Hi, my name is Miles, and I have had Fibromyalgia since 2014. My wrists, knees, fingers and elbows since Nov 2024 have been getting worse pain and fingers going out of shape with lumps at the joints in the fingers. I thought it was RA but I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis yesterday. The pain is gradually getting worse. Well, it's more painful than last week. Do you have any ideas on how to look after my joints, any supports for my wrists, etc?
Thanks

Hi @MilesScott_Martin and welcome to our friendly online community.
Sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time at the moment. Was it your rheumatologist who diagnosed this? If so did they mention starting you on any medication?
Here's a couple of articles for you to have a look at.
