Fact For Arthritis

• Staying active and losing weight are ways to help you feel better.

• Some people need to take pain medicine to stay active and control the pain.

 

Fact For Arthritis Treatment:

2. Joint lubricant shots (not the same as cortisone shots) usually do not reduce pain or  improve knee movement.

3. Arthroscopic knee surgery usually does not reduce pain or improve knee movement.
