General Self Care Tips in ARTHRITIS

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints. The most common form, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age.

The major complaint by individuals who have arthritis is joint pain. Pain is often a constant and may be localized to the joint affected. The pain from arthritis is due to inflammation that occurs around the joint, damage to the joint from disease, daily wear and tear of joint, muscle strains caused by forceful movements against stiff painful joints and fatigue.

General Self Care Tips in ARTHRITIS

1. Be Active

   Research has shown that physical activity decreases pain, improves function and delays disability. Make sure you get at least 30 minutes of muscles stretching and strengthening exercises at least thrice a week

2. Keep a tab on your weight

   The prevalence of arthritis increases with increasing weight. Thus maintaining a healthy weight decreases the risk of developing arthritis.

3. Use assistive devices

   A cane may take weight off your knee or hip if you walk. Gripping and grabbing tools may make it easier to work in the kitchen if you have OA in your fingers.

4. Spread the weight on an object over several joints

   Use both hands to lift a heavy pan. Try using a walking stick or a cane.

5. Maintain good posture

   The easiest way to improve your posture is by walking.

6. Use your strongest muscles

   Don’t push open a heavy glass door. Lean into it. To pick an object, bend your knees and squat while keeping your back straight.
