The cause of joint pain and arthritis is not well known. The pain comes because of swelling around the joints. Some people get this disease because they had a previous injury or they have had gout.
The disease will not go away, but it can be slowed down with diet and exercise. Losing weight can help, thus causing less pressure on the joints. This is a chronic disease so the best thing to do is to learn how to live with it.
Eating healthy is a good way to start. A body needs minerals, vitamins and nutrients. This will give you lots of energy if you keep these in balance. Think about the food groups and make sure you eat the right amounts of grains, vegetables, milk, fruit, beans and other proteins. Only eat when you are hungry, and stop eating when you are full.
Eating right will give you more energy, help you lose weight, thus causing less pressure on the joints. This needs to be a way of life, not a temporary diet. You will feel better and be able to cope with the joint pain better.
Some people are afraid to workout, because they are afraid of further injury and pain. This is not true, you cannot make yourself worse by exercising. This will make you more flexible, give some pain relief, and help reduce swelling. The time you workout is very important, to improve the pain from this disease. The exercise can be moderate, do not strain yourself, just do the same thing on a regular basis.
Start with something easy like walking, biking, etc. If you are afraid to do these then consider water walking or swimming. These are all great ways to start an exercise program. Going on the internet you can even find suggested exercises that will help you. If you are a golfer then golf. Some people like yoga. Starting off with stretching exercises will get you ready for your workout.
Discuss what you plan on doing with your doctor. Some doctors will prescribe physical therapy to teach you the best exercises and may offer you some devices so you do not cause addition stress on the joints. We must get all the information so we can take proper care of ourselves.
It is very important to take care of yourself. This disease is not going to go away. There is over the counter pain medicine and ointments and lotions to help with the pain. A person must experiment and decide what works best for them. Be consistent, do not eat well one day and not the next. Exercise on a regular basis or you will not help yourself. This is a chronic disease and a person needs to do the best they can to have control over their illness.
Controlling this illness is the best a person can do. Living life to the fullest and having a good quality of life can only be done when we take care of ourselves. Take the time to make a plan of action now and be consistent and follow it daily.
