Secondary arthritis can develop after injury to a joint – sometimes many years later.
What can you do?
Some of the following may help to relieve pain and keep you mobile:
- doing exercises to strengthen your muscles will reduce pain and stress on your joints – a physiotherapist can help with this
- massaging painful joints and muscles
- losing weight if you are overweight to reduce strain on your weight-bearing joints
- attending relaxation classes
- trying complementary therapies such as acupuncture and aromatherapy
The Arthritis Care Helpline is available to answer any specific questions you may have on all aspects of arthritis.
