Re: RA and associated effects

Re: Ashame of a pain
Hi Misimama. Thanks for your post as you highlight an important issue that younger people can struggle with osteoarthritis too.

Perhaps you have already considered any behavioural changes, but if not, there are some behaviour changes that can help with recurrent UTIs such as making sure you empty your bladder fully, wiping from front to back after you've urinated, and urinating after inte...

Re: Overactive bladder in children
