Living with rheumatic pain

Living with rheumatism can be a real challenge. There are a number of things you can do to help ease the pain of rheumatism:

Try some gentle exercise, like walking, cycling or swimming. Start slowly (maybe 2 times a week) and build up gradually. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
Eat well and try nutritional supplements. The right nutrients can help keep your joints healthy.
Try rubbing or massaging your joints – many aromatherapy oils claim to relieve the pains of arthritis
Taking a painkiller with anti-inflammatory properties, like ibuprofen – the active ingredient in most Nurofen products – can also help.
