Arthritis Shops

[marcr]

Does anyone know any online shops that sell products to help people that suffer with arthritis ? Not medication, things to help in everyday life, jar openers etc

Ask your GP or practice nurse at your local surgery. They usually have leaflets which sell such things - some may even be available on prescription.

Marcr, Ask your GP to refer you to an Occupational Therapist. Alternatively, ring your local hospital or social services, and ask for their Occupational therapy dept. There are loads of on-line shopswho'll happily sell you the most expensive products they have. However, an OT will assess you, and provide assistive / equipment that will make everyday tasks easier for the patient. This equipment is usually provided without charge (or may be on a "long-term loan basis". good luck.
