Is it a good idea to do bowling when I juvenile rheumatoid arthritis?
i want to do bowling in high school this year. i am pretty good at it so i’m pretty sure i will make the team. but practice is like everyday and it will be strain on my joints. i don’t have sever arthritis but i do always have pain in most of my joints. so would it be a good idea to do bowling this year? if it makes a difference i am 14.
I know it’s not very phisically demanding but just standing hurts my ankles a lot.
I’ve had Ankylosing spondylitis, a hereditary type of arthritis, my entire life. I’ve never let it keep me doing sports I wanted to do. I played football and wrestled in high school, I played soccer when I was younger (I didn’t care for it), I’ve done Jujutsu as well. Bowling isn’t exactly a physically demanding activity, I’m sure you’ll be fine.
