Healthy With Age

Rheumatoid arthritis is a potentially debilitating condition in which the lining of the joints are stricken with inflammation. Symptoms include aching and throbbing of the joints, and if left untreated deformity may eventually result. However, given the appropriate treatment options, it’s possible to live a healthy, fulfilling life with arthritis.

Stretching and rotating the joints through their entire pain-free range of motion once every day will keep your symptoms at bay. Don’t overdo it; just make sure that you’re staying active and systematically checking your range of motion. You might consider taking some joint supplements as well. Reserve the use of your weakest joints for the times when you absolutely must use them.
