• Include turmeric and fish oils as they help in reducing inflammation.
• Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights.
• Include fish like salmon, trout, tuna and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of the curve to minimise pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
• Adopting a healthy lifestyle coupled with a diet containing high proteins is the mainstay in the management of arthritic conditions.

Pain: It is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Perception of pain can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable. 

Rheumatoid arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting various joints (hands and feet). In this condition, the body's immune system attacks its own tissue (including joints). 

Ankylosing spondylitis: Ankylosing spondylitis is a rare type of arthritis that affects the spine and larger joints, causing extreme pain and stiffness. 

Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
