Generally, when pain strikes, we hit the bed and skip doing anything. Well, in case of arthritis pain, its something one must avoid and instead should get moving.
Arthritis and pain go hand in hand. Once diagnosed, there is hardly any respite. With approximately 277 million people living with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) worldwide, it is today the most common form of arthritis where the cartilage, a cushion-like flexible connective tissue that absorbs pressure and stress in the knee joint, slowly wears away resulting in the rubbing of bones against each other and causing pain, stiffness, swelling, decreased ability to move and, sometimes, the formation of bone spurs too.
