Thought I'd give the poll facility a try to see what joint causes the most problems. It's not meant to be too scientific but it might be interesting to see which joints cause the most problems for us RA suffers. I don't think it'll let you answer with more than one choice, but if it doesn't choose the one that is causing the most problem at this point in time.
Thanks.

Hi Fiona,

When I was really bad with RA 5 years ago my elbow was the longest to get better, it ached for a few years. I used to find keeping a heating pad around it, was a good help for the pain. I also had a lambswool elbow support. Its all trial and error, but there is always something that will help.

Keep your chin up it wont always be this bad.

No mention of Jaw either.... big ouch!

Well my memory must be really bad.... as this topic has must been recently flagged up and I have no recollection of writing the poll!!!!

I would certainly add more joints to the list if I was doing it now.... I hadn't had RA that long when I wrote it... but now it is a different story (and I still have 2 broken elbows at the moment too).

So feel free to cast your vote or add a comment. I am interested to see that knees are top (which are still my biggest problem!)

Hi Anne - this looks interesting, I would vote but the poll is closed
