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
Hi Stephanie,
How are you doing now? It's been one year since your post. I wondering why the forum is not active.

Hi Don,
How are you doing now? It's been 4 years since your post. I guess it's not an active forum.
Please RSVP if you would like to attend our meeting this Tuesday at 7pm!
