Hi. RA is something for which you need lifelong treatment. There may be certain exacerbating factors like cold weather, certain foods which can increase the pain. Better to prevent these episodes. Stiffness is a feature of RA. You have to do regular exercises to prevent stiffness. Your exercise regime should include both aerobic and strengthening exercises. Stretches will also help you a lot. But physiotherapist guidance is essential in prescribing the right exercises. Go for a walk daily for atleast 30 mins. Have nutritious food which includes more of green leafy vegetables, egg, milk, fruits etc. As you are young, you can fight the disease with exercises and food rather than medicines. At any cost do not go for heavy gym exercises otherthan if prescribed by your physio. Hope you recover soon. Any further questions, you can contact me online.
