Exercise, not rest is often the right therapy
Until 25 years ago, standard treatment of arthritis was inaction. The doctors at that time thought that the best way to maintain function of joints is simply not to move. Even today, many doctors believe that inaction in combination with pain medication is the winning combination for the problem of arthritis.
For this reason, a few years often passes since the appearance of arthritis that patients spend by taking pain medications of different strength. However, it usually does not help, so eventually they go to see specialist rheumatologist, directed by their doctor. To rheumatologist they come because they are still, despite all the medicines, in strong pain.
