An unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy habits can escalate your arthritis and lead to disability, but this doesn't have to happen!
About a generation ago, most people assumed that disability was inevitable, but that assumption isn't true.
You must take an active role in managing your lifestyle and daily activities!
Successful arthritis patients are ones who take control of their own care. They engage their physicians and communicate about their care, adopt good-living strategies and have a healthy diet with regular exercise and stretching. They protect their joints from damage by modifying activities or adapting their home and work surroundings, too.
Whether you have minor, moderate or severe arthritis or joint damage, taking an active role in management of your pain is the first step to battling pain, stiffness and immobility. Take control of your care!
