[Image: 6-piece blue colored background with a Siamese cat. Text reads: “Physical activity will help your arthritis pain/So I should do exactly what causes me pain…”] I have read many studies stating that physical activity actually helps my arthritis but it’s hard to want to be active when it hurts. I love do crafts, sewing, and art but I have to stop periodically to massage my hands or to wrap them up in a warm rag.
