I have already lost 55 pounds without exercise. But I need some exercise that doesn’t put me in pain for a week before I can exercise again. My back hurts when I run on me tread mill and my knees hurt severly after exercises.

This summer my mom started feeling pain in her right elbow. Later her whole arm would hurt so the doctor said it was probably Tendinitis so she gave her a few exercises to do. Now her joints in her wrist, knees, ankles and toes sometimes hurt. Doctors still don’t know what it could be. Any ideas??

are there specific drugs or exercises to reduce oedema caused by osteo arthritis in the knee joints?

What should not I eat and should I eat for rheumatoid arthritis?
Which exercises and sports are suitable for rheumatoid arthritis?
I was diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis.I have had the disease since I was 11.At first,I can’t walk.After 2years,I recovered and since then,I have been healthy.Now I am 23/male/married/1 child.However when I had checkup again,I was diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis again and the doctor told that my lungs were not very good and I had high cholesterol level even though I am lean.Is it because I eat a lot of eggs?That’s why I have been doing exercises eveyday until now to get rid of not only cholesterol and rheumatoid arthritis as well.
I don’t want to take many medicines with harmful side effects.
I prefer avoiding foods that are bad for rheumatoid arthritis and taking remedies.
And I am perfectly willing to do exercises and sports instead of taking drugs.
Which sports are suitable for rheumatoid arthritis?

I have been diagnosed about 7mos ago with Degenerative Arthritis in my Lower Lumbar (L4). I can not take my med’s when working, makes me very tired (Vicodin). I have a sit down job (Desktop Publishing) and after a few hours, my back is killing me. I have the chair supports for my back and get up every 30min or so to stretch. What kind of exercises could I do that help to strengthen my back muscles that won’t be too over-exerting? And would Advil or Bayer be better for the inflamation?
DO NOT answer this question if your gonna say to ask my doctor.
It is asked in general to those who are in the same situation.
Thank you for the helpful responses, thus far.

Im 17 and a martial artist and in martial arts getting arthritis is one of the worst possible things that could happen to you and it can be career ruining. What are some foods I can eat exercises I can do ect to help prevent this from happening. Also if you need info about my body Im about 6 ft tall , 250lb, muscular with a little fat as well, oh and Im male.

Do to avoid just living on pain pills? It hurts so bad that most exercises and stretching is out of the question. I can barely walk today.

I am 56 yrs old and have Rheumatoid arthritis for about 10 yrs now, i had my right knee replaced recently. My arm joints and other joints are paining . Should i proceed with the other knee and if so how much time should i give before operating the other one ? that is should i take 3 months break before performing the other?? should i perform some exercises?

I was in my doctor's office and saw pamphlets for Synvisc injections for the knees. My doc said it would probably help me. Have been annoyed about my diet and exercise regimen,too. I'm 5',small frame and I weighed 110 pounds 2 yrs ago,creeping up to like 135 now, but lately I can't find any exercises I can do without suffering a great deal in my joints afterward.My doc said stairs and elliptical machines are out for me (knees too bad) Anybody have any input for me, on any of this, I'll be grateful. Also, if anyone has been thru the mill with the arthritis meds, what do you find works well ? (any thoughts on Glucosamine compounds?)

My mom was advised by her doctor to have knee replacement surgery due to her arthritis. However, since she's diabetic, he also advised that she lose 30-50 pounds prior to surgery. Her diet is fine, but she really needs to incorporate more exercise to help get the weight off. Besides water aerobics, what are some low impact exercises she can do that would put pressure and strain on her knees? Thanks.

I have osteoarthritis. I'd like to start weight training (I already do plenty of cardio). However, I know that certain exercises will exacerbate my joint pain, at least while doing them. Is it better to work through arthritis pain when weight training so as to ultimately attain the benefit of stronger muscles, or will doing so further damage the joints?

I don't see my Ob/Gyn until the third of July. If the pain continues or gets worse I will call and speak with their nursing staff. I am wondering what I can do in the meantime to help. It is to the point that I get sharp pain everytime I walk. Are there home remedies or exercises for S.I. Joint pain?

I am 11 weeks pregnant, so no anti-inflammatories can be used.
Thank you!

I am being treated for Rheumatoid Arthritis, my doctor says I can exercise, but lately I have been having flares so my question is, are there any exercises that are low impact. I have been gaining a little weight and I feel sad, but like I said there are quite a few days where I am in too much discomfort to exercise. Medicine only does so much, the dicomfort from the flares will always be there…so what would suggestions be of low impact exercise that could help me get rid of the 5-10 pounds I have put on?

My mom has really bad arthritis in her legs and is making her life miserable. Does anyone know of any kind of medication, natural remedies or exercises that could help?

I have alot of pain in my left knee, almost constantly, and it's usually swollen. I haven't had an injury to the knee, but I did injure my right knee several years ago. I am wondering if anyone knows of any exercises or anything to help strengthen my knee and to relieve pain? Advil helps some, but I wind up having to take so many that my ankles wind up swelling. Any SERIOUS suggestions or remedies would be greatly appreciated.
