Even with Arthritis you can still exercise. It may be painful to begin but in the long run exercise may even help decrease your pain from Arthritis.

When picking exercises to perform you want to follow a couple of rules of thumb. You want to pick something that will work the joints giving you pain while also practicing something that is low impact on your joints. You don’t want to do more harm than good and the key is to not pick high impact (movements that put extreme pressure on your joints) exercises.

A simple walk around the block is one of the more recommended exercises. Walking is a low impact movement that is easily performed. You don’t need any special equipment for walking and it can be done anywhere.

Stretching is also a great way to keep joints and muscles active. Numerous strectches can be done and this can work for nearly any location of Arthritis. Yoga, pilates and Tai Chi are all geat forms of stretching and working your muscles.

When you hear the word “Arthritis”, the first thing that comes to mind is pain that is associated with stiff joints.  There are different variations of Arthritis symptoms and treatments available on the market.  The word “arthritis” often makes many people think of painful, stiff joints, but it’s much more than just that. Most types of arthritis are chronic which means that this can go on for a long period of time.
The pain from Arthritis can cause changes you can see and feel; for example you may experience swelling, warmth, and redness in your joints.  Some types of arthritis may be less painful, but can still slowly cause damage to your joints while other types of arthritis cause pain and swelling for only a short time.
Osteoarthritis starts when cartilage that pads bones in a joint begins to wear away. When the cartilage has worn away, your bones rub against each other causing pain. It is more common to experience Osteoarthritis in your hands, neck, lower back, or the larger joints of your body such as your knees and hips.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is more common in women than men and these people are usually tired and run a fever.  The pain, swelling and stiffness can last for long periods of time.  Rheumatoid arthritis does not have a preference as to what joint it attacks and it is not uncommon to attack the same joint, even on both sides of the body.
Gout is painful, but many people do not associate the pain with arthritis.  Gout is one of the most painful kinds of arthritis. Gout is usually detected in the big toe and is often accompanied with redness and swelling.   Eating foods such as liver, anchovies, dried beans, or gravy can lead to a gout flare-up.  In older people, some blood pressure medicines can also increase the chance of a gout attack.

Working at Q-Based Healthcare we all have a testimonial for one product or another that we ourselves or someone in our company has used. Managing the shipping department is an interesting way to work with all departments within the company. One of our shipping clerks who is fairly new has already discovered for herself the powerful effects of Tri-Relief. She shared her story with me.
She began, “My grandmother Betty has 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. She worked as a cook at a hunting camp for years, cooking all the ducks and geese the men brought in. Her passion was cooking and it showed through her great food. I always looked forward to going to Maw Maw’s house and the question always came up, ‘What is Maw Maw cooking?’
“She loved taking care of her grandchildren and she would play outside with all the kids and taught us all she knew about cooking as we got older,” she shared. “About two years ago she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and she was in so much pain – every joint ached her. She was taking medication the doctor had prescribed and undergoing intense physical therapy. She was no longer able to do the things she loved.”

She continued, “About 6 months ago she was diagnosed with cancer in her esophagus. She then had to take trips from her home in Louisiana to Texas to see the doctors and was told she had to undergo Chemotherapy, which meant she could no longer take her medicine for the RA. She not only had to deal with the pain of her esophagus, not being able to swallow and chocking every time she tried to eat but the pain in her joints came back also. I had no idea what to do. I wanted to help her but did not know how.”
She went on, “Not long after she was diagnosed with cancer I was offered a job at Q-Based Healthcare and became familiar with the products we sell here and the product Tri-Relief caught my attention. I took a sample to my grandmother for her to try. She called me two days later to tell me how it was working for her. She sounded so relieved and excited. She said the minute she applied the cream she had instant relief in her joints. Now she is able to take the trips to and from the doctor in Texas with great comfort. I am so happy that Q-Based Healthcare is here providing non-toxic alternatives to the medicine we all know. It is so rewarding to be part of such a great company.”
I think this shipping clerk summed it up pretty well. It’s great to work for a company where you know you are making a difference because you can actually see and hear the difference you are making in people’s lives.
