North East is Arthritis-free

[Reg1]

It's a few years now since based on the membership of Arthritis Action that I concluded the North East of England is osteo-arthritis-free. I have just checked on the members near me facility and I am pleased to announce that this area is still clear as no members show at all in Arthritis Action. We must be winning the battle

The North East is above us as we are Middle East (of England)

Have you congratulated the Health Minister. He has done well in getting everyone so fit.

[Reg1 in reply to Hidden]

Who is the Health Minister this week? Lol

Do let us into the secret and then the rest of the country can be free; he says sitting here suffering because of the damp weather.

Mike.

I wonder where it shows I live then as am in darkest Northumberland and do have a badly arthritic knee.

[Reg1 in reply to shopman]

Hiya You do show under 'All communities' but no-one shows under Arthritis Action. Maybe it's a fault with the program software?? All the best

[DigitalJan]

Not any longer!

Thank you for the replies If the "people near me" facility on this site is not working properly, maybe we should announce our location ourselves? I am in Redcar. Have a good day everyone

Hi Reg1 I like in Northumberland I have confirmed osteoarthritis and jury is still out on rheumatoid arthritis but symptoms suggest I have it .

[Reg1 in reply to pet-lamb]

Thanks for your response. There just seems to be so few people with OA from the NorthEast registered on here. All the best

[pet-lamb]

You too Reg1

Hi Reg1, I live in Cramlington, my base, I travel a lot these days as I can't stand the cold weather due to Osteoarthritis.

Interesting to hear the North East in Arthritis free, I don't think so!!

So many people suffer with this debilitating illness but no actual cure.

Thanks June Perhaps people are just with-holding their location when they sign-up with HealthUnlocked?? Still nobody showing in the 'people near me' section in Arthritis Action.

Hello Reg1, I live in Cramlington, Northumberland and have suffered with Osteoarthritis for years. I am going for my 2nd knee replacement on Friday. I have waited 7 months for knee replacement so that is probably one of the shortest waits in the country, or so they tell me. 🤔

[Reg1 in reply to flamenca1]

All the best to you for Friday. Hope all goes well and you have a full and fit recovery 😉

[flamenca1]

Thank you Reg. 😊
