Do biologics slow down progression in Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Trying to find out if Ankylosing Spondylitis can be stopped or progression slowed down if Biologics are used or if they don't have as much of an effect on AS as they do other forms of arthritis? Any links to research, articles, videos etc is much appreciated?

Humira possibly Stelara?
I have psoriatic arthritis… I have a few of the “itis's.” I have found that humira has been a wonder medication for me in terms of both plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Lately I have been dealing with tendon issues in my ankle. At first, like always, I thought I just hurt it, and I did, but

Do biologics slow down the progression of arthritis?
I was wondering if there is much research to show that biologic drugs slow down the progression of arthritis or if they have no effect? Some research articles I've read about biologics say they slow down progression of disease in up to 50% of patients if caught early in the disease and others say they

I have arthritis in my right index and middle finger. The pain in the index finer is excruciating at times. Anyone else suffering from this? Any suggestions? I live in the UK, no joy from GP. I personally think it stems from repetitive strain, as I was a primary school teacher.

Severe knee arthritis
Hi everyone. I have bone on bone compartmental arthritis in both knees and have been told I need total knee replacements. I’m keen to avoid surgery if possible so am researching other ideas. Has anyone tried red light therapy and if so does it provide any pain relief or regeneration of cartilage etc.

Running with osteoarthritis
I used to run more than 10 years ago but, having fallen in the car park at work, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis arthritis in my right hip, left foot and my right hand. I thought I would never be able to run again and this is certainly what was implied by the doctors and physios I saw. I have, however

More news on my pain
Hi everyone, Well I’ve had a very interesting conversation with my doctor. She totally agrees that rheumatologist has fobbed me off. She agrees with me they can hardly tell what it is without an X-ray and I would not have arthritis of the hip as I’ve had hip replacement . She is arranging an X-ray

Update on pain
Hi everyone, We’ll talk about quick reply, I sent an email to rheumatologist this morning and a nurse phoned me about 1/2 hour ago, he discussed the pain I’m experiencing and talked it with a rheumatologist and said because my markers are not up it can’t be PMR and therefore it must be osteoarthritis

Hi everyone, Hope you can help, I’ve been struggling with pain in my shoulders, my neck, my hip and now my wrist. I did have this type of pain last year and my doc put my pred up to 20mg for five days, it really helped. My problem now is that the last time I spoke to my rheumatologist I was not having

Pip difficulties
Hi all, I was just wondering whether anyone has had difficulties claiming pip for fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I have been refused and I am going through a mandatory reconsideration because I feel like I am being disregarded. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Too young for arthritis?
Hi, I’m a 21 year old who is suffering from knee pain and cracking/grinding joints. I am overweight and have always put the knee grinding down to my weight but recently in the past 6 months my knee has started to hurt and I can no longer squat and it hurts to climb stairs.

Coming off Duloxetine
I've been on Duloxetine for several years and would be interested to see if my arthritis pain would change if I stop taking it. Does anyone know what the long term side effects are? I understand that I would have to come off it gradually.

Pain in the jaw
Is it usual to have rheumatoid arthritis in the jaw? How can the pain be eased, does it last for very long? Y dentist has confirmed that the severe pain I have in my left jaw and the shooting pain is due tonRA,

Fibro diagnosis - and a prescription to do karate!
After having my NHS rheumatology appointment cancelled twice in three months, then unsuccessfully trying to get a private consultation (turned out the hospital I wanted to go to don't actually do private consultations), I finally got seen by a visiting rheumatologist at my local hospital this weekend

Is anyone still taking Co-proxamol pain killer?
Hi there I've just given some quotes to a journalist from the Mail on Sunday about my experience of having to stop taking co-proxamol when it was taken off the market as a regular pain killer used by many for managing different types of pain. At that time I was getting it as a named patient from my GP
