RA & Osteoporosis
My RA continues to make it difficult and painful. And then I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis 2 weeks ago after a body scan. Both are throughout my body. Deformity is occurring in my hands and feet. With also several other medical conditions, I am very frustrated.

I am sorry to hear about your newest diagnosis, Diane
. I can hear just how difficult, painful, and frustrating it has been dealing with osteoporosis on top of your RA (and other medical conditions). You are not alone! Two of our health advocates have written about their experiences with RA and osteoporosis that I wanted to share with you, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/osteoporotic-fracture and https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/osteoporosis-lower-spine. I hope these articles can help you know that you aren't alone, and hopefully some of our community members here can share their experiences with you as well. Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
