Greetings from Pune India. Iam 60+ and RA+. Iam doing Yog postures for the last 25 years. When I started doing it I didn't had any problem. The problem started from 2010 with Chikungunya infection. But my Yog Guru pulled me out of those difficult days. I can't do perfect postures as I used to do, but I do practice regularly. Some ladies from my RA support grp wanted to do some exercise but didn't know what to do. I shared my experience and offered to teach them as I was trained by my Guru to teach. Last two years we do on line exercises and simple Yog postures thrice a week on line. We all feel good, pain is less, stiffness is reduced, energy level is increased. Our Rheumatologists are also happy with us. Doc thanx your advice and exercises taught here are confirmed we are on proper line.

A few weeks ago, I could have done these easier after a regimen of prednisone. I'd say the swelling and pain in my joints was down approximately 20%. Now, off the prednisone, it's where it was before. 4 months ago, it was just my left arm, wrist, fingers, elbow and shoulder and starting a little on the right arm. Now, it's completely both arms, neck, back, hips, thighs, knees, ankles and feet. I'm determine not to take the methotrexate that the doctor gave me. I need to do this another, safer way. It pisses me off, that when I made that appointment to see that specialist, or any other in the area, the waiting time is 4 months. I could have been treated sooner, if the policies were different. So here I am, starting the exercises and working on gut health nutrition. Could be a long road.

Thanks mam

Most welcome 😊

[@alicemuriel2777]

Thanks very much for the doable exercises for RA patients... I'd appreciate if you have exercises to rid the swelling of knees upwards and pain in the calf muscles. If you say the exercises mentioned above will help reduce that even .. then I am going to do them regularly from now on...I am 68 years old.🙏

[@rheumatologistoncall]

I'm glad to hear that you found the exercises helpful!In general, exercises that focus on strengthening the leg muscles and improving flexibility can be helpful in reducing knee swelling and calf muscle pain. Examples of such exercises include low-impact activities such as cycling, swimming, or water aerobics. Additionally, gentle stretches and foam rolling can help to relieve muscle tightness and improve range of motion. However, it's essential to remember that it's crucial to work within your own limits and not to overexert yourself, especially given your age and medical condition. It's best to start with low-intensity exercises and gradually increase the intensity and duration over time.

My RA Factor is 167 also ESR and ANYICCP are around 200. Doctor told me that you are suffering from RA but i have one question..my pain is in only left leg starting from back. May I know should i go with another doctor's suggestion or is it good as i heard this RA is only related to joint pain..but I'm not sure wether my one left leg pain is due to joint or not since pain is in whole left leg only.

It's great that you're seeking advice! What specifically do you need help with?

[@user-ew1pk6uk4s]

Well it's defintely arthiritis pain and did write below as being osteoarthritis; all I can say is my hands are so stiff every time I sleep, when I talked with a chiropractor afterwards. So I'm not sure if I should go for a swim or do yoga? Been wanting to try tai chi and have in the past but the class is not very close to my home.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

It's important to listen to your body and choose an exercise that feels good for you. Maybe try some gentle stretching to see if that helps with the stiffness.

[@user-ew1pk6uk4s]

@@rheumatologistoncall Sorry auctually I think my condition is osteoarthritis since none my family have genetic arthritis that come out of the blue and the causes have developed over time from heavy lifting with no grip supports
