At The Table Ep 1 Step in the right direction: Mobility issues due to surgery, disability, or flares

Welcome to the first MINI-episode of AiArthritis Voices 360: "At The Table". These short shows focus on issues that we feel require immediate feedback, which is then applied directly to our projects or resources that go back to the community.

This episode, join your host Tiffany and IFAA volunteer and person diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Deb. Deb is preparing for reconstructive surgery on her left foot and will have to face 10-12 weeks of recovery with absolutely no weight-bearing on the surgical foot. She does not feel hopping is an option, nor are crutches or a cane - because she has fused hands and wrists from being diagnosed 30 years ago (pre-modern practiced therapies).  

Whether it’s surviving a flare or recovering from procedures, many of you have lived through these challenges and have good advice for others. We invite you to share your voice and expertise with our community.  

 

Patient Voices and All Other Stakeholders - Join our AiArthritis Voices Program and Connect to Opportunities to Have Your Voice Counted!

 

If you are a patient, a parent of a juvenile patient, or any other stakeholder (doctor, nurse, researcher, industry representative, or other health services person) - are you ready to join the conversation? It's your turn to pull up a seat. Join our new AiArthritis Voices program, where people living with AiArthritis diseases and other stakeholders who we need 'at the table' to solve problems that impact education, advocacy, and research sign up to have a voice in our initiatives. By signing up, you’ll get notified of opportunities to be more involved with this show - including submitting post-episode comments and gaining insider information on future show topics. Patients and all other stakeholders are encouraged to join so we can match you with opportunities to pull up a seat and TOGETHER - as equals - solve the problems of today and tomorrow.
