From the article: Occupational Therapy Helps Osteoarthritis Patients Lead Active Lives
An occupational therapy program, such as activity strategy training, can help you determine what it is that's keeping you from being more active. Whether it's a physical limitation or an environmental barrier -- overcoming that limitation or barrier should allow you to increase your level of physical activity. Share Your Experience
Living with Arthritis at 52
- I have severe Arthritis in my right hip I now have to use a walker. I am very upset I can no longer drive myself to Starbucks or go rent a movie without a family member taking me. No more going to the grocery store, I am home most of the time mostly b/c of the pain. It's easy just to stay home. I'm hoping I can get over this depression and think more positive.This has happened all too fast for me after a hip clean out, arthritis set in. Only time will tell. I know when I get a good night's sleep I feel better that doesn't happen very often. I'm taking one day at a time.
