Arthritis

The world’s largest social network for health, empowering self-care and advancing patient care with research.

Welcome to the community for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This is run by the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) and exists to help you find support and information from other people living with RA. You may be newly diagnosed or have had RA for some time or you might not have a diagnosis yet – everyone is welcome! NRAS also support people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and other forms of inflammatory arthritis.

NRAS is a UK based charity providing support, information and advocacy for people with rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, their families, friends and carers. Our vision is for everyone with RA to be able to live the life they want to.

We have a helpline which is open Mon-Fri, 9.30am – 4.30pm and is free for landlines. We also have a huge range of free information booklets available to order or download from our website.

Whether you’re looking for information about your arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions, or you want to support family and friends, we can help.

You don’t need to face arthritis alone. Our advisors aim to bring all of the information and advice about arthritis into one place to provide tailored support for you.

We can help with over 200 conditions, including OA, RA, fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis and gout.
