What should be done to help athritis pain keep from getting worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arthritis: It all depends on the type of arthritis. There are several auto-immune conditions that can be treated to control the progression arthritis. It is essential that you see a physician. If is osteoarthritis, then exercises and joint protection are what we recommend the most. Anti-inflammatories can also be recommended, depending on the age of the patient as well comorbic conditions.
