If you're having a flare, do you need to chat to your GP or rheumatology team about whether a short course of prednisone might help?

Various resources that have been mentioned that might help in the longer term:

britishpainsociety.org

escape-pain.org

britishpainsociety.org/stat...

arthritisresearchuk.org/sho...

A number of people on the Pain Concern forum have found some benefit from CBD products (legal in the UK) and there has been some recent discussion on them on this board.
