Health knowledge made personal
Have you tried exercise as a treatment for your Arthritis? For osteoarthritis exercise is the number 1 treatment.
I work for a marketing company that is actually working with the Arthritis Foundation and the Ad council to make OA sufferers more aware that staying active is the best way to prevent/treat OA associated joint pain.
There is a great site here:
Fightartritispain.org
That has some great PSA's about the prevention and treatment of OA pain.
Hi,
I am a physical therapist. I agree that exercise is of great benefit. Consider a water exercise class. And, for consistent pain, try utilizing ice (not heat!). Apply ice for 10 minutes at a time a few times a day. And, talk with your doctor about anti-inflammatory medication as arthritis is an inflammatory disease.

Hope this helps.

pain killing medication
Posted by sheibria
Hello I am a 72 yr old woman in terrible pain with arthiritis, I am taking all kinds of pain killing medication so I can have some comfort and ease from the pain.
The ones I am taking currently are ones with Codeine and I am wondering what the side affects of this are.
Is there anyone who can give me this kind of info.
Many thanks Sheila
