In my book: “The Fit Arthritic: Fighting Knee and Hip Arthritis with Exercise” I will describe how someone with arthritis can start to take control of their pain and improve their health. I encourage collaboration with a health professional and will help my readers to learn more about osteoarthritis and self-treatment options. I detail many medications in the book and hope that my readers will be able to reduce their use of prescription and over-the-counter pain medications. I define fitness for someone with arthritis and help the reader to plan and exercise their way to less pain and improved health. My goal is that those affected with osteoarthritis can be come a “fit arthritic” with me. From the Foreword: “I am now in my mid-forties and pleasantly enjoying mostly pain-free days. I used to consume more than 2000 ibuprofen tablets yearly and now I rarely take them for knee pain. I can walk for extended distances and finished a day-long hike in Yosemite National Park this year. I am finally at a healthy weight around 175 pounds. I have discovered many principles that have helped me to become more active, suffer from less pain, and yes, consider myself fit once again.” ALAN KELTON M.D. is a practicing internal medicine doctor.

The Fit Arthritic: Fighting Knee and Hip Arthritis with Exercise.
i have Rheumatoid Arthritis in ever joint. but i get pain in my wrist and i noticed when i pop it, it feels better. but is that bad to do?
I starting having problems with my thumbs involuntarily crossing over my finger and locking up. I can pull them appart but it’s a wierd sensation. Sometime my toes are doing this too. I am a 42 year old woman, not having any other symtom?
Could it be arthritus, MS, or MD ?
I am 24 years old and since I was a little child I have been cursed with one of the worst cases of JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) ever. Now, with brittle bones and constricted muscles I have very little choices in what meds I have to take just to stay out of the red zone. After growing up on hundreds of pharmaceuticals my digestive system is shot. I have had several procedures to help with the gi problems but the only thing that I have had any luck with at all is simply quitting the pharmaceuticals all together. After being on a feeding tube for a very long time I wanted nothing to do with meds. My mother never wanted me to take the pharmaceuticals but she had no choice. The doctors said that if she stopped giving me the meds that they would turn her into children services. When I turned 18 I had the power to turn down the meds myself. I then turned to Marijuana for my pain management. Aside from pain management, I have practically no appetite. Probably from the damage done on the inside. Pot makes me hungry. It takes my pain and inflammation down to practically nothing. Some people don’t believe me when I say that but it is a fact in my life. I live in Ohio and I have heard that I could some how get marijuana for my situation. Is this true? Can I get the one drug that helps me more than it hurts me? I hate the ropes I have to go through just to eat more and live a little. Any advice? Any knowledge?
