Hi Lisa

I have had to resort to showers too for the last 8 months... however, I have the Occupational therapy people coming in 2 weeks to sort out a bath lift/chair - so I can have a bath again!! I find the bath helps with the pain better than a shower!! - so I'm hoping I can convince them too!

My GP suggested it... so I am hoping. Fortunately we have 2 baths in the house, so I can have one that no one else can use!!

I think you'll find there are plenty of people on here in the same predicament!!

Take care

Hello Lisa
Been in your position, gave up bathing about 4 years ago, don't worry I shower!
Have an ensuite but a bit of a step up...had my first shower last week since knee replacement....its lovely
Everyone is different - ra is about adapting and looking at ways of being able to do/get around the things that wouldn't be difficult to do before ra.

Good luck in discovering what works for YOU

I occasionally have a bath in the Summer when I am at my best, but that's a rarity. Showers are my standard option.

I do sometimes kick a tub of conditioner over the drain outlet so I can oak my feet while I'm showering though

We only use the bath when the grandkids stay. It's showers al round otherwise. Cheaper and Greener too.
