Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction.
Hi,Im new to the group,Im facing a partial knee replacement-a makoplasty.Has anyone had this ?I cant take the pain anymore(1 year!)
Sorry to hear about the pain, knees especially! I haven't had anything replaced, but thought I would wish you luck!
Sounds like the way to go, a lot less traumatic then a full knee replacement...

i think you'll find answers and support at bonesmart.org. Jo, an orthopedic nurse is especially helpful.
