Morning, so I have increasing pain in knees, worse on left. Diagnosed with Degenerate Oesteo-Arthritis in both knees, treatment for which is steroid injection, for time being, but ultimately will need knee replacement surgery. My question is, does anyone have tips to reduce pain & swelling & preserve

Have I got RA ?
Hi I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR for 18 months and now on 5mg each morning under the care of a Rhuematologist . I have had Osteoarthritis for a good few years mainly in my finger joints . My Dr is now questioning if I have RA because my middle finger on the right hand is markedly more swollen

feeling a little hopeless!
hi all, First time posting on here! I have been reading all the threads and finding lots of comfort, so thought I’d reach out. I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in mid-March. It took almost three years to get my diagnosis due to my symptoms not “fitting in a box” (words of the Rheumy nurse

3rd Rheumy says I no longer have PMR but Rheumatoid Arthritis from X-rays and blood tests and prescribed Leflunomide
does this stuff work? The side effects for liver damage potential looks scary to me, someone that once was misdiagnosed with liver cancer and sent to Cleveland for transplant. Yes, fatty liver at age 59. Don’t drink or smoke. Pre diabetic/diabetic Also, does PMR segway into rheumatoid arthritis?

Tapering
Just a quick question about tapering Prednisolone. I have had GCA since Aug 22. Have tapered down to 5mg but had the beginnings of a flare. My rheumatologist told me to go up to 7.5mg. The flare abated. I then got an infection/virus and on the advice of the rheumatology nurses increased to 10mg for a

Undiagnosed inflammatory disease
After numerous blood test and scans over many weeks my diagnosis was suspected to be Giant cell or Temporal
Arteritis
but this was never confirmed as my symptoms didn’t completely fit. Two and a half years on and my ‘condition’ is now well controlled with 20mg MTX.

I can empathise with anyone suffering with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Arthritis because if you haven't experienced it, then people don't understand

Hi, i was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis 5 years ago and I'm on methotrexate and hydroxycloroquine. I'm was hoping to start taking spirulina and chlorella as they have so many health benefits but I not sure of any drug interactions. I've tried Google but I'm getting conflicting advice, some say
