Good evening everyone. I have osteoarthritis in my knee along with ra. Do any of you do physical therapy? I’m thinking it can help me, but I want to know if it will be worth trying.
I did physical therapy and it caused me to have a flare. But my inflammation markers were still very high at that time so my RA wasn’t controlled. I was recently put on MTX and am feeling no pain for the first time in a year and a half. Hoping to be able to start exercising soon
I was doing physical therapy for awhile but ended up having to have knee replacements. I still try to ride my exercise bike daily when I am able.
Yes I have both and do physical therapy weekly. It does help but you have to do your part too.
I believe in PT. It has helped me tremendously.
I am firm believer in physical therapy I do it my self three days a week plus I swim you want the core straight and upper body if you fall it helps you get your self up on your own feet been going to therapy on off since 1998 I stay in as much as possible hope this helps you.
