Sharing more helpful information #Arthritis
Momma got my a copper infused wrist brace hoping it will help with my Carpal Tunnel. In with the brace a mini booklet came in the packaging as well. It is from Dr. Arthritis. (doctorarthritis.org)
In the booklet it gives helpful information about the wrist and ailments specially in the wrist. At the end he shares his; Top 10 Tios for Arthritis.
1. Take your medication regularly, not just when you're in a flare-up.
2.Treat any underlying Depression. Arthritis can get you really down. Therefore should not be treated as a physical problem.
3. Consider alternative treatments: Acupuncture, Aromatherapy and Yoga.
4. Use hot and cold therapies. These target inflammation and combat pain.
5. Stretch. This helps to lubricate the joints and enhance range of motion.
6. Gentle exercise in the evening. Before bed, just walk through your house or adjusting yourself on the couch a couple times can works wonders in terms if reducing morning stiffness.
7. Eat a healthy diet
8. Maintain a healthy weight. Extra weight puts more strain on your joints.
9. Manage smoking. Smoking puts stress on connective tissue. So try and cut back or quit.
10. Know your limits! Don't over do it. Rest when your body tells you to.
Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but thought I'd share just in case!! Stay strong!!
