Live Yes! Connect Groups offer local connections, education and empowerment. Adults living with arthritis from our local community come together for professional- and volunteer-led sessions on a variety of topics, as well as fun group activities.
We offer a place of understanding and encouragement for both people living with arthritis and their loved ones. Group participants become self-advocates, develop self-management skills and learn how to not just survive life with arthritis but to thrive.

Hello - I'm new here. I'm 38 and was diagnosed with OA over the summer. It's gotten worse and the pain was unbearable so I went the route of gel injections; I got my second one yesterday. The first one helped a lot and the needle wasn't so bad. The second time, I felt it. Reminded me of the feeling I got when I was getting an epidural during labor and I got a sharp pain down my leg. It was like that but not as bad. Anyway, I feel so useless and like I am a burden to my boyfriend and colleagues. I'm having such a hard time working through these feelings. I am in therapy (pre diagnosis). Does this get better? Please tell me it does. I hate being like this. On top of the pain and feeling of uselessness, I have zero patience for anyone and a have an attitude. It's coming out everywhere...even in work emails. I'm not going to hurt myself, I would never do that but in every other aspect of life, I just don't care anymore
how do you know if you have psoriatic arthritis??? I have rash on back that spread throughout back and on upper arms...i have gout....and degenerated arthritis in hands, toes and back??? have been treated with cortiscosterioids for rash it relieves it but is not going away....
Please RSVP if you would like to attend our meeting this Tuesday at 7pm!
