Looking for a ways to avoid arthritic pain?

Before you do anything, you should talk to your doctor to make sure it's okay for you to explore the following.

Whether you're in the kitchen, garden, or other part of the house you enjoy spending time, consider using your EazyHold universal cuff for as many daily activities possible. This relieves the stress on your joints, which can in turn reduce pain.
3. Start with small exercise
The key to avoiding injury is to ease into exercising regularly. Start with small exercises and gradually increase how long you spend exercising.

You may enjoy connecting with a group, as this is where people can develop new friendships with people who understand and share the same problems. In addition, you will find your group of new friends encouraging.
5. Consider yoga
Yoga has become extremely popular due to its focus on whole body health and stretching. It isn't scientifically proven to help, but many people have taken up the lifestyle due to the way it makes them feel. You'll never really know unless you try it, right?
6. Go for a swim
Low impact activity is the best you can ask for when you have arthritis. Treading water can help move those joints without the additional stress.

I find that all of these are good. Especially the Yoga and the Swimming. Fairly easy on the body and joints. Eugene Sims’ book How I Achieved Freedom From Arthritis has taught me things along those lines, his methods are very low impact and they really have given me nearly pain free days. And that as we all know is a very good thing. Might be a good resource for others, freedomfromarthritis.com is his site.
