For those who live with arthritis every day, the symptoms can be a barrier to doing the hobbies they love. But with management strategies and lifestyle changes, many seniors find that they can continue the activities that bring them hope, purpose and joy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Seniors and Arthritis Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>#DYK &#8211; One in five adults suffers from senior arthritis. The majority of this group are senior citizens.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\">For seniors to understand the stages of living with arthritis, it\u2019s helpful to talk about how the disease is identified, diagnosed and managed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Signs and Symptoms of Arthritis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally, symptoms of arthritis can include any of the following: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joint redness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stiffness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Warmth, or difficulty with movement<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many people are familiar with arthritis of the hands and feet, but they don\u2019t always realize that it can affect any joint in the body. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should visit their physician.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Seniors and Arthritis: The Diagnosis<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When diagnosing arthritis, medical professionals will typically conduct a physical exam, and gather medical history and genetic information to help identify the type of arthritis. Blood tests and imaging may be necessary as well. While arthritis cannot be cured, it can be managed to limit the impact it has on seniors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Seniors and Arthritis: Management Strategies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A physician can recommend arthritis management strategies and approve all plans to change or increase physical activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#1. Lifestyle changes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seniors with arthritis may need to stop performing certain activities or limit them. Depending on the area of the body affected, some hobbies may become more difficult. However, planning can be helpful \u2013 for example, having a stool to sit on in the kitchen can help seniors who want to cook but have difficulty standing for long periods due to arthritis pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#2. Movement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For some types of arthritis, sitting or working in one position for too long can cause the condition to worsen. Moving, walking and stretching every 15 minutes can be helpful. For some, setting an alarm as a reminder to prompt movement can be helpful. A doctor should be consulted before seniors begin any exercise regimen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>#3. Weight:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maintaining a healthy weight can help manage arthritis. Excess weight can cause strain on joints, worsening the condition. Anyone concerned about this should consult their physician for exercise and diet recommendations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Education and awareness are critical \u2013 seniors who may have arthritis, or have already been diagnosed, should engage their care team to develop management strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Comfort Keepers<\/b><b><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><b> Winnipeg Can Help<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A care plan for arthritis can minimize the impact of the disease on a senior\u2019s life, and Comfort Keepers can provide support for a management program.
