Knuckle replacement with Swanson joints
Has anyone had Swanson joint replacement on all the knuckles of their dominant hand, if so was it successful and how did you cope? My non dominant hand is also a mess and I am very worried I will not be able to cope, op due 3rd June.

Has anyone used a rollator (wheeled walker with seat)?
At the grand old age of 35 I am finding it harder to ignore the pain and work through it (not that I should have been doing that anyway). Overdoing it has bigger consequences than it used to. I am finally having an OT come to visit next week. My mum arranged for one to visit in my late teens and I had

She had also suffered from a number of
joint
dislocations
and was found to be ‘double jointed’. At the age of 18 she suffered from a prolonged attack of glandular fever, which left her with ongoing fatigue and aches and pains labelled as fibromyalgia – a diagnosis later changed to Sjogren’s.

Magnified pain
OMG I'm in a lot of pain everywhere Grrr! Now what do I do? Been taking 50mil Levothyroxine for 2 weeks for borderline hypo, I'm still not functioning very well, everything's such an effort. Luckily I had another blood test today at a pre-op apptmt for something else, the Sister was brilliant when I

Second opinion
Hi, I'm wondering if I should ask for a second opinion. I was diagnosed with unspecified poly arthritis 20 years ago and have gradually become disabled over that time.I also have osteoporosis due to long term steroid use for hypopituitarism, which I've been taking Alandronic acid for since January.My

Question about joint replacements
I have noticed that there are several in this forum that have had and need to have joint replacements. Is it because the disease has been perticularly agressive and the meds have not worked or not tolerated?

Does anyone else feel like they're going crazy waiting for diagnosis?
I suffered with
joint
dislocations
and hyper mobility syndrome. Now since this started when I was 12 years old I have had the term EDS thrown round ALOT! It wasn't until earlier this year when I researched for myself that I became certain.

A cautionary tale, remission?!
Just over three years ago I was having horrible face rashes which the rheumy said was lupus. They said I was in remission so I could come off infliximab and methotrexate - just like that! Within a month my RA was much worse and my knees (OA) wouldn't work. I became virtually housebound. The rheumy started

I'm feeling down. My first knee replacement seems fine, but I now have to wait my turn for the second in order to be able to function properly. I can still hardly walk, cant really function on my own and have to rely on my long suffering partner. Normally I can cope with this all, waiting too for the

MTP big toe joint fusion
I'd love to hear from anyone who's had this operation and whether they successfully returned to running. I had the op done last week and now recuperating wondering if I'll ever be able to run again 🏃🏻

Diagnosis? Is this Ehlers-Danlos?
My health has slowly been in decline for several years. It started with multiple dislocations and chronic pain. I was told these were because I had Joint Hyper mobility Syndrome. Also shortly after I developed Asthma at 15 years old with absolutely no history of it! I coped for years but over the past

Hi I'm Nicky and I'm a 48 year old lady, my working back ground is of a Qualified Nurse, In 2005 I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, and went into Thyrotoxic crash and I was having horrendous night sweats, I would wake up cold and my nightwear would be soaked, I can liken it to putting clothes on

Stem cell injection as pain management
I have suffered for years with osteoarthritis but it finally defeated me last spring. I was informed that I needed a new hip. In view of the long wait for surgery where I live (Canada) I began looking into alternatives that might at least give me some relief while waiting. Anti-inflammatory drugs made

I'm getting worse as every day passes by!
I need some help and advise.. I cannot believe that this is happening to me! I've gone from Athlete to invalid in less than two years. I can barely walk. Saw the Rheumatologist last week; he showed me the X-Rays of my Hips,, knees and ankles; they all show signs of degenerative Osteo Arthritis.
