This research in Clinical Rheumatology arrived in my Stork reseach feed this morning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10067-019-04881-y Is there no end to the fad concept of catastrophizing? Could it be that people with knee osteoarthritis know from experience that stair climbing, above all other...

Hi. I would be interested to know what other people do for their pain? For the past few months the whole of my forearms and my wrists and fingers have been in severe pain, following a period of typing too much on my phone, although I didn't realize it at the time. I often get this pain in my...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-50151723 People with long-term health problems such as arthritis are more likely to feel pain on humid days, a study has suggested. Folklore suggests the cold makes pain worse - but there is actually little research into the weather's effects. And this...

Haven't got the energy to track down the study/studies this is based on but sounds potentially interesting (and definitely so if you're a mouse - do we not have a mouse emoji? We can't be discussing science and not honour mice with an emoji!)...

Will an app a day, keep the doctor away? A critical look at BPS based phone apps. In my opinion, these apps may not be designed to keep the doctor away, but to keep patients away from their doctors - in a "don't bother us with your imaginary health problems," kind of way. They seem to be...

hi I have a very low dose of Lyrica aka Pregabalin for neuropathic pain which I get in hands and feet most noticeably at night. I had a bad experience with it when I first started taking it because I’m one of those who are knocked out by medications. I’ve stopped taking amitryptiline or...
