Do I Have
Arthritis?
“I feel better after I stand up and move, but then I start to get sore again.” Ever wondered why this happens? Well, it might be due to arthritis in your joints. Movement and exercise will help joints with arthritis feel better; however, it needs to be right kind of exercise and the right amount. Too much exercise or the wrong kind of exercise can create more pain. If this sounds like you, call us at 425-820-2110 and we can have you come in for a complimentary screen to discuss what is going on and what you can do to feel better. Do you have swelling, pain, or redness in joints on both sides of your body? If this describes your pain, you may be suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). RA is a different kind of arthritis than the more common osteoarthritis (OA).
While Osteoarthritis is caused by “wear and tear,” Rheumatoid Arthritis is actually an auto-immune disorder. That means your own body is causing damage to itself. RA can typically cause pain in the same joints (hands, elbow, etc) on both sides. If you think that you may have RA, give a call at 425-820-2110 to schedule a FREE screen to discuss what is going on and what options are available to help get you back to feeling better again. “When the weather changes, my joints feel more stiff and sore.” Ever caught yourself saying this? Guess what, it may be arthritis . Why the emphasis on “may be arthritis”? Keep reading… While there is no “scientific evidence” that people who suffer from arthritis will get more sore when the weather is colder, those of us who work with these people will tell you there really is something to it. Just because we can’t prove it, doesn’t mean that this isn’t a typical complaint of people with arthritis. So if you are dreading the coming of colder weather, give us a call (425-820-2110) and come in for a FREE 10 minute conversation. We can discuss if your pain is related to arthritis and what options you have to start feeling better before the cold weather arrives!
