Sudden onset of osteoarthritis in all my fingers and toes (???!)
Hi everyone, A bit of (boring - sorry!) background: At the age of around 16 I went to the doctor complaining that my right wrist was painful. I couldn't put any weight on it without pain. The doctor I saw at the time didn't examine me and just told me to take ibuprofen. Over the years I continued to

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Rheumatoid Arthritis
I recently saw a news item on Sky News (from 2014) which showed a trial of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) that had proven very effective in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have looked on the web and contacted Dr Peter Tak who led the trial to see if there had been any developments - he said

To cap it all they do this image on Versus Arthritis
To all on here following Agedcrones fab comments- what drives me nuts is the image of the chap holding his hand up smiling. I SO wish I could do that with my hands and I am a tad younger!

Can I swap running for an exercise bike and get the same effects?
I have osteoarthritis and have gained weight from being unable to run like I used to. I want to follow the NHS guided workouts but they seem to focus on running. Would it have the same effect if I followed the timings but swapped an exercise bike for the run as this has less impact on my joints. Thanks

Is it possible to have both Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis??
I suffer from several autoimmune diseases - Hashimotos, PA, Lichen Sclerosus so assumed that my joint pain (really severe now) in my knees was RA. However, reading up on here and other arthritis sites, it is far more common for that to be osteoarthritis. I also have tenderness round my finger joints

It hurts to walk so much hardly going out - any advice?
Following a flare up of arthritis in the knee I am finding it so painful to walk that have gone in 3 weeks from someone going out a lot using buses etc to someone who only takes a few steps. Is this familiar to anyone - its pain when put foot on the ground which then goes up to hip. Thanks

Colonoscopy Whilst on Steroids
Hello Again! I am wondering if you could let me have your opinions before I speak to the endoscopy unit. I am having a colonoscopy later this month. I know how to live! 😊 My question is, on the day prior to the procedure, I am allowed a light breakfast - which is when I would normally take my 3mg

Flexeril
Anyone have experience taking Flexeril? I was prescribed 10mg (the off brand version) for shoulder pain. Are there any common side effects aside from drowsiness? What is your experience with this drug? Did it help your pain relief and how long did it take to work? Did your pain come back after you stopped

Recent Consultant appointment
Went to see my Consultant yesterday and we discussed the findings of my weak and painful hand. Was sent for xrays and back to my Consultant all within 15 minutes! Although my xrays looked good upon examination, my Consultant agrees that he thinks I'm presenting with symptoms of Carpal tunnel. Next

Painkillers before rheumy appointment
Hope you're all as well as you can be and thank you for keeping this group going. The help, on lots of levels, and information from fellow sufferers is second to none. I was wondering how you feel about taking painkillers before seeing the rheumatologist. I'm on 15mg methotrexate (started on 10mg) and

Cortisol testing following steroid injection
I've been taking Erfa for 6 weeks and my Endocrinologist has requested a 9am cortisol test along with thyroid and vitamins. Since then I've had a steroid injection for arthritis and wonder if this will skew the results? Any advice please?
