Once you have been diagnosed with arthritis, it is important to take steps to prevent the disease from progressing. There are a number of things you can do to reduce your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, including:
-Maintaining a healthy weight. Being overweight puts extra strain on your joints, which can increase pain and inflammation.
-Exercising regularly. Exercise helps to strengthen the muscles around your joints, which can help to protect them from further damage.
-Avoiding tobacco use. Smoking has been linked with an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.
-Making sure you get enough rest and relaxation. Stress can worsen the symptoms of arthritis, so it is important to find ways to relax and de-stress.
By following these tips, you can help to prevent arthritis from progressing and keep your joints healthy and pain-free.

Arthritis is a word for when it hurts and swells up around your joints. The most common arthritis is called rheumatoid arthritis. It affects more than 1.5 million people in the United States. With rheumatoid arthritis, something goes wrong with the immune system and it attacks the lining of your joints. This causes pain and makes them swell up. There are other types of arthritis, like osteoarthritis, gout, and fibromyalgia. Arthritis can happen to anyone at any age, but it happens more often to adults who are 65 or older. Symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and deformity. Treatment options depend on what type of arthritis you have but might include medications, physical therapy, or surgery. There is no cure for arthritis yet, but getting diagnosed early and starting treatment right away can help lessen symptoms.
