Arthritis self-care

[duriyah]

When my mom was here, I picked her brain for what she could tell me about managing arthritis. She told me a doctor would tell me to do all the self-care I am currently doing: flexibility and strength training with yoga; taking glucosamine/chondroiten, calcium, Vitamin D, and Omega 3 supplements; and taking care to rest any painful joint or muscle

Which type of arthritis do you have, osteo or rheumatoid? My mother has osteoarthritis, but manages it pretty well these days.

osteoarthritis

Sorry, I should have said. I have osteoarthritis. My mom also has osteo, and says that she's able to manage it as well.
