Hello all, I’m new here. Pleased to have found others who will understand as they are suffering similar health issues to my own. I’m 76 and have suffered arthritis for many years in my knees which are always swollen. I also have arthritis in my hands as well. This can make opening bottles, jars etc almost impossible to achieve. I tend to drop things at times as well. The comments regarding jaw arthritis are helpful as I’ve recently been diagnosed with this painful condition. Eating can be difficult due to the excruciating pain.. It’s really encouraging to see members still manage to hold on to their sense of humour despite their aches and pain.

Hi welcome, you will find a lot of understanding on here which is a god send at times when even your nearest and dearest don’t quite get ‘it’. A sense of humour cannot be damaged or swollen so I think it’s important to retain it as much as we can. In my humble opinion anyway! 😀 Sarah xxx
