Hi Janet, I have R/A and i know when i get stressed it does makes my arthritis worse, i think stress makes any illness worse. Have you tried anything to relieve your stress? Yoga is very good.

There is definitely a link between stress and pain. When I was waiting for my first hip replacement I was offered anti depressants as a form if pain relief. As Rhona said yoga is good for stress and meditation can also help.

janet sorry i jumped in on your post and asking bsk a question for myself - didn't mean to be so rude. stress definately makes it worse for yourself but trying to not stress sometimes in itself is stressful!! catch 22 situation. try to find something that will help you as the others have said and hope you find something soon x
