We all have our moments bonniemillie, so shout out from the rooftops if it helps!

Have they given you any idea as to when you can have your hip replaced? I have some underdtanding of the pain you are in as a family member was in agony before eventually having the operation. What a difference it's made to her life.

So, Be positive, it will happen so hang in there!

Hi bonniemillie12 , sorry to hear about your experience during these challenging times. This is a very unique situation that the world is in, hopefully things will begin improving soon for us all.

During this time, it is important that people living with arthritis continue to self-manage their condition in order to reduce any painful symptoms and stay positive.

To help with this, we've recently updated our website with a COVID-19 advice page. This includes information on how you can be self-managing your condition while self-isolating, and looking after your mental health and wellbeing.
