Hi all,

I'm a student looking into people who experience arthritis in the hands and wrists for a non-paid research project with the goal of creating an easy-to-use online experience for a specialist hand and wrist clinic. If you could please share your experiences in this thread or via messages on any of the following questions:

  • When did your arthritis occur?
  • How has this impacted your daily activities (through work/use of technical devices/ physical activity/ rest)?
  • Have you sought medical advice or treatment for your arthritis ? If so, what was your experience like with healthcare providers?
  • If you have, how did the GP / hospital let you know about your appointments and confirm any treatment plans?
  • Are there any other sources of information on your hands and wrists to look at online or visit to discuss your experience with others? If so, what do you like about them?

We will use any responses or answers in our research project. Unless you ask us to do differently in our research write up, we will blur your user name and will do similarly if you mention the name of a particular doctor or clinic.

Thank you very much for your time
