Community Center

Welcome to the heart of Arthritis Insight, our Community Center. It is here you'll find the understanding of others with arthritis. From the message boards to the chatroom, it's all about support!

 

Member Stories
Ever get the feeling that no one can possibly understand your pain? Well, guess what- many of us know exactly where you are coming from. We DO understand, we are living with it too.
Here is where we will share our stories. How arthritis entered our lives, the changes it brought and how we live with those changes. Or tell us about your joint replacement or other surgery experience. Reading others' stories makes us feel less alone and sharing our stories gets it all off our chests.
Here are a few to get you started:

Krissy Jo aka Tina Underwood

It seems we sometimes spend much time talking about what we CAN'T do with arthritis. Enough of that! In this section we'll focus on what we CAN do.

How many people are relatively pain-free with their arthritis, and how did that come about?
