Hi, I have rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, the pain I have every day in my hands, wrists and shoulders is very debilitating, I take MST for disc problems, and Paracetamol regul as well, but nothing seems to help, I also work part time in a care home, I am so fed up of constantly living in pain, every day life can be so difficult and I have to ignore that and just continue with my job, even typing on here is very painful, does anybody else find this a really big strain or is it just me, and does any one else know of any tricks to help with it, I also have Methotrexate.

I have osteoarthritis. Not RA so I do feel for you.

I've had 2 hip replacements and the 2nd one ...4 weeks post op I was doing an exercise and have fractured my greater trochanter bone. More than 2 years later I'm still on crutches and am likely to be permanently.

The pain from the fracture {that will never heal is dreadful} I'm on MST as well also paracetamol......although I'm trying to come off them I'm still on some Naproxen.

I'm lucky that when my arthritis started I was about retiring age and am married so finished work. I don't know how I would have coped if I was working and lots of people I know have little children as well. That must be hard.

Love

I just don't know what to do, I've tried all sorts of things but nothing seems to help

A lot of tablets are contraindicated to some other tablets I take
