Hydrotherapy and beyond?
I have recently been referred for a series of 4 one to one Hydrotherapy sessions at my NHS hospital. When these finish I can take up a course of six classes targeted at either back/core or hip/knee. I am very grateful for the opportunity and have found the comfort of warm, weight bearing water a revelation

Update on Rheumatology appointment
Thought I'd just do a quick update. I saw a very nice Consultant this time. He said that he thought I no longer had PMR but that I had something called Steroid Myopathy where the muscles. ligaments and tendons become weak and lose strength (having checked I have been on steroids since March 2020) and

doxycycline and reduction of arthritis symptoms
I recently had an infected tick bite: hospital removed embedded tick and gave me 3 weeks supply of Doxycycline antibiotic. This to prevent a recurrence of Lyme Disease. Though the tablets upset my stomach badly, after week 2 I noticed my arthritis had all but disappeared. Usual routine of waking up in

Arthritis aids
I'm having trouble turning off my garden tap because of the arthritis in my fingers and wrists. It's one of the old fashioned ones - brass with two "arms". Any recommendations for something to help?

Diclofenac (Voltaren)
is Diclofenac , 1% solution, 4 mg. 4 times a day OK to use while on prednisone? I’m currently on 9 mg. My GP says it’s fine because it’s topical, not systemic. I’ve tried it 3 times and it really helped my shoulder pain. I have osteoarthritis and possibly other causes for the pain. I’m

Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Can Polymyalgia Rheumatica progress to rheumatoid Arthritis? After being diagnosed with PMR over two years ago my rheumatologist now thinks that it has progressed to rheumatoid Arthritis. Has anyone else had this?

Arthritis examinations
After careful consideration and many years of arthritis problems I was wondering what others think of the proceedure for reaching a diagnosis . I feel not all things are approached considering the fact that a correct diagnosis is important as even with arthritis there are many different types requiring

Went from Psoriatic arthritis to fibromyalgia to osteoarthritis
Hello everyone. It’s been awhile since I’ve used this account. I was previously diagnosed with endometriosis. After two surgeries I’m mostly symptom free. Then found out I also have hemochromatosis. Psoriasis runs in the family as well as arthritis but no one I know of has gone to a specialist.

osteoarthritis alongside rheumatoid….
I’ve had RA and Fibromyalgia for a long time now, on meds and see rheumatologist regularly. I also, increasingly seem to have osteoarthritis- I’ve got real problems with my knees at the moment. My question is…… will both conditions be looked at by rheumatology or is the osteoarthritis another specialism
