Yes! I can!! It has been 5 years since I got RA and for four of those, my right knee has been swollen to like thrice its original size and PAINFUL! I could not take one step without cursing my life. Doctors had told me I will definitely need a knee replacement in a couple of years from now. But ...

    I can't imagine what a joy it must be to regain some mobility.  By sharing you have passed that joy along to us too, and I thank you for that. We need to hear about each other's success so we don't lose hope.  It affirms there are things we can do to affect the course of this disease!

     

    Yup! I think that was just the kick in the butt I needed.  I HATE to exercise, I really really do.  I'm not at all an "inactive" person but I don't really exercise either and I need to.  I'm one of those you talk about who don't have damage and need to get moving NOW!  I've got to consider if I hate working out now, I won't like it any better when I'm in horrible pain.  Sounds like it really is a pay now or pay later scenario.  So thank you for that too.    ....I'm signing up for a class at the pool.
