A member asked:
Why does arthritis hurt so much more in the morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Arthritis seems to cause stiffness in a joint that has not moved for a while. You will notice that even during the day, after a period of immobility, joints will feel more stiff when you begin to move again. At night, our joints are relatively immobile during sleep and feel much stiffer in the morning.
