Arthritis isn’t fun. If you’ve got it in one knee, climbing stairs is agony. If your finger hurts, buttoning a shirt is a chore. And if it's in your spine, bending over seems impossible.
Whether you have the more common osteoarthritis (which affects specific joints), rheumatoid arthritis (which may cause pain and swelling throughout your body) or another form of arthritis, it hurts! To feel better, you’ll want to use everything: medicine, diet, exercise and mind-body techniques. To fight the pain, start here!
