If you are suffering right now from arthritis, you will probably know that the pain of arthritis:
Arthritis is or becomes more or less painful to deal and cope with as time passes, but typically worsens over time as the disease progresses
It can be extremely painful and debilitating
This pain can get worse after moving around a lot, exercising, or after any periods of exertion
Slide 4:
Pain can flare up at different times of the day or night
It can hurt even when sitting or lying down
The pain is undeniably present – it is chronic and ongoing, day and night
And there are varying levels or intensities of pain, different for each and every arthritis sufferer
Slide 5:
And as pain levels and symptoms vary so much, INDIVIDUAL action plans are needed!

But there is real hope.
