Movement is the Key


Arthritis often creeps up slowly - an occasional twinge here and there.
 
First in the extremities - fingers and toes, then all the rest of the joints soon join in.
 
Some days are easier than others - the flare ups come when they want - no warning given.
 
Medication is available - using it only when it is really bad is the option that I prefer.
 
Years ago, exercise was not what doctors preferred to order - it hurt too much.
 
But it has been proven over the past few years, that movement for arthritis is the key.
 
Even if it hurts - which it does.
 
"Use it or loose it" has always been my motto - and it applies here too.
