Spreading arthritis

annierich78

Hello everyone. I have joined to get some support from you all. I had a very successful hip replacement in 2015 and now have arthritis in the base of my thumbs and in one knee. Exercises seem to be helping my knee. I do Pilates weekly and dog walk daily. Apart from losing some weight has anyone any other lifestyle tips to help please?

Hello @annierich78

Welcome to the online community.

It sounds as though you are doing the right things with your Pilates and walking your dog. Keeping weight down is very useful particularly with knee Arthritis.

Will you wait for someone to come along with their tips I am going to add a couple of links for you:

and

Now that you've said hello please do take a look around the forum and join in wherever you wish. You will be made most welcome. Living with Arthritis tends to be the most popular category.

Best wishes

Ellen.
