Treating arthritis has come a long way these days, but there still is no way to completely get rid of arthritis. Right now, all doctors can do is slow it down. Surgery will help it slow down and then medication will continue to keep the arthritis in its slowed down pace. Hopefully soon, breakthroughs will be made to find a cure to completely rid a body of the damaging effects of arthritis.
If you have arthritis, you might be experience stiffness when you wake up in the joints affected. You could have limited movement in that joint, and/or pain in the joint. It might even be hot to the touch, and swollen. If you have not, you should have a doctor check out the joints that are bothering you. If your doctor finds the arthritis before it gets to be too much, they can help you decide how to attack this disease. The earlier you find the arthritis, the better. If your feet are bothering you, schedule an appointment with you podiatrist, especially if it is the joints in your feet.
