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

Leflunomide - has anyone had success on this?
Hi I’ve just started Leflunomide I really hope it works for me as I’ve failed methotrexate and Sulfasalazine due to bad side effects. Has Leflunomide been successful for anyone else? 🙂

very sore heels at the end of the day, up on a foot rest. They burn and ache and the skin is tight and dry.
my New Poiatrist did a fungal test and told me that she believed that my “ Psoriasis “ was actually Athlete’s foot that had spread to my soles, heels sides of the feet and toenails. I have been treating it as Psoriasis for years. After” Lamisil once “ my feet look better and my nails are clearly going

Hi, has anyone elected to stop Methotrixate due to the side effects and inconclusive RA diagnosis. Decided to stop as side effects outweigh benefits! Has anyone then moved on to controlling inflammation with alternatives like turmeric, devils claw or Chinese remedies. There has to be an alternative
