Hi, ok thank you just suffering with my osteoarthritis atm but just trying to be careful and not over doing it, thank you for the welcome, I’m very new to this so hopefully my reply will post back ???

Don't worry, you've replied and I can see it! It can be a little daunting at first, but you'll get the hang of it in no time Sorry to read you're in pain - anything I can do to help? I'm bad at jokes, and I have hearing loss but I'm a good listener

Thank you, @feet1st - have you got anything planned for this week?

You might also like to try our virtual 'Coffee lounge,' where we also have some word games. There's a link to this at the top of this page.

Hi @chiarieds I’ve popped into the coffee lounge this morning, will definitely have a go at the word games, I love games ?? My husband as annual leave from Thursday so will have a couple of trips out, in this lovely weather (hopefully) I’m hoping my OA behaves itself, I have been suffering of late, waiting for a hip replacement ?but my knees and hands are not very good atm, I’m trying to be “cheerful” ???☀️

Welcome to the community from me too @feet1st! It's good to hear that you enjoy games We look forward to seeing you over in the coffee lounge. 

I'm sure it must be difficult to stay positive at times when you're struggling with the symptoms of your OA. Are you receiving enough support from your doctors? 

feet1st

@Tori_Scope thank you, I will definitely be in there, yes I have a very understanding GP, hospital and family, I’m waiting for a few appointments in the future, the onset of my OA has been very fast and my joints are deteriorating, I can cope with most things but struggle with the pain ?? A bear with a sore head comes to mind ?
