For arthritis, you need to go to a rheumatologist, not just ask around. They will diagnose the type and give you proper medication. Diet and exercise help, but only as a support to medical treatment. Don't waste time on unproven remedies.
Be very careful with 'what's good' for arthritis. There are a lot of fake remedies online. Always, always verify with a qualified doctor. Your rheumatologist will guide you on the right medicines and lifestyle changes. Don't fall for quick fixes.
I've been reading about this too for my grandma. It seems like a combination of things works best for arthritis – gentle exercises like swimming, a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, and proper medication. It's a long-term management thing.
Arthritis can be tough. Consulting a specialist is the most important step.
My aunt has arthritis, and she finds warm oil massages help a little for comfort. But her doctor always says that consistent medication and light exercises, like walking, are key. So, while traditional methods can offer temporary relief, always listen to your doctor first.
