Hi John, no nothing has been said to me  about the two being connected. I had arthritis when I was a lot younger and my weight wasn't so high. I was very active when younger and played a lot of sport. I believe that my knees are arthritic because they were 'worn down' in playing sport. Yes, the weight doesn't help but to blame it all on weight. I get so angry and annoyed.I have always been a big person. You would think my body would be used to it by now..lol My GP hasn't even acknowledged that I have Raynauds.  When I see my GP next i will ask her about the two.

Hi John. I have just been told by My GP that i have mild oesteoarthiritis. I have always sufferred with raynaurds from being a young child. My hands go very white and i can not do a thing with them. I am also interested if the two are connected in anyway. Could i ask what pain relief you take.

iv got raynaulds thru using vibration tools and my knee pain  i played sports when younger and golf till bk pain started first bfr fingers then athritus in my knees. i believe thru vibration going thru my body long exposure has caused all my problems and hence athritus in knees thru secondary raynaulds look at a post on medcare a doctor said 80%  of ppl with raynaulds had athritus in knees.
