advice re knee pain.
hi, I’m a 58yr old, who suffers from an inflammatory arthritis, called ankylosing spondylitis, and mainly affects the spine but also peripheral joints. 10 weeks ago, I was on holiday in Devon, and suddenly noticed my left knee was buckling. A week later it gave way in the shower and I fell and gashed

Severe Degenerative Arthritis and Osteoporosis
I have had osteoarthritis for many years, both knees and hips have been replaced and I have degeneration in other joints. Nearly four years ago I had a spinal collapse with the vertabrae in most of my back tumbling like dominoes, caused by osteoporosis. A recent xray has now confirmed severe degenerative

Bob has brought Rheumatoid Arthritis into the conversation with the Christmas special I knew he had health issues but didn't know Arthritis until he mentioned on the programme. I read his autobiography which is good poignant and funny. Arthritis is not mentioned. He says diagnosed in 20s but he was

Total knee replacement
I’m 6 days post total left knee replacement and struggling! I have no muscle strength to help my rehabilitation. The Physio is expecting me to lift my operated leg up and to bend it but I just haven’t got the physical strength to do so. As a result my rehab is way behind and there is a possibility I

AF and Arthritis
Hi everyone long time no post! Pleased to say the AF has been quite stable over the last 6 months or so, a few blips here and there but usually down to lack of sleep, bugs and dehydration! However over the last 2-3 months my osteoarthritis has been getting steadily worse to the point I've had trouble

Psoriatic arthritis
Hi everyone. So, after a year and a half of worsening joint pain and numerous tests, a rheumatologist has diagnosed me with early psoriatic arthritis and prescribed methotrexate. My concern is that nothing whatsoever has ever shown up on any tests. ESR and CRP are low (lower than normal actually).

Hi I’m just putting this question out there out of curiosity. I’ve not posted for a while so here goes… My cousin came to stay with me from Canada. He’s been concerned about my diagnosis for what I was originally told was rheumatoid arthritis. However they’re now calling it Undifferentiated inflammatory

Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Hi everyone, I wonder if I can please get some help. I’ve been experiencing widespread body pain for c.3 years. I initially put this down to the menopause and earlier this year I started to focus on my under active thyroid - I’m not yet optimally medicated for that (takes a while). In May I decided

Advice please
I am a healthy 65 year old with arthritis in my left hip. It is manageable but very painful and I have pains down my leg plus it disturbs my sleep. I have been told it has to be very severe to get any form of treatment. That is ridiculous- that I have to wait another 5 years or so - I can’t even get

Rheumatologist Appointment
Well back from the hospital after seeing the rheumatologist after waiting all year to see him and he's said my PMR has gone into remission but unfortunately, I have now developed rheumatoid arthritis in both hands/wrists, hips and shoulders. ☹️

GCA Osteoarthritis
I saw the rheumatologist today and he tells me all my organs are performing normally. He did see scoliosis in my back and osteoarthritis in my neck and lower back. He did not mention PMR so presume it’s off the table. My neuro opthamologist is treating my GCA with prednisone at 5mg/day. The rheumatologist
