Arthritis pain can be treated in different ways. If you are suffering from this kind of pain and want to cope up with it, go through this slideshare presentation to know what you should do and what you should avoid.

1. Arthritis Pain-How to Cope Up With It?

2. Whatever is your condition:
● Talk to your doctor about your
symptoms, arthritis related or not.
● Give your doctor complete
information about your medical
conditions and medications.
● Ask your doctor for a clear definition
of the type of arthritis you have.
● Find out whether any of your joints
are already damaged.

3. As Part of Your Everyday Routine:
● Do some gentle exercise in the evening; you'll feel
less stiff in the morning.
● When you're sitting still and doing some work
periodically tilt your neck from side to side and stand
and walk around every half-hour or so.
● Manage weight
● Quit smoking

4. Exercise
When you have arthritis, movement
can decrease your pain, improve
your range of motion, strengthen
your muscles and increase your
endurance.

5. ● Choose activities that build the muscles around
your joints but don't damage the joints
themselves.
● Focus on stretching, range-of-motion exercises
and gradual progressive strength training.
● Include low-impact aerobic exercise, such as
walking, cycling or water exercises, to improve
your mood and help control your weight.

6. Avoid Activities that Involve High Impact and Repetitive Motion, Such as:
● Running
● Jumping
● Tennis
● High-impact aerobics
● Repeating the same movement, such as a tennis
serve, again and again

7. Different types of medications are
available for arthritis pain relief but no
medication is free of side effects. Talk with
your doctor to formulate a medication plan
for your specific pain symptoms.

refrain of fearful, hopeless
thoughts.

● Cognitive behavioural therapy
