It is always recommended that an RA patient should exercise regularly to maintain the flexibility and decrease pain and stiffness. I am considering starting a regular exercise routine but am not sure where to start ? Are there any exercise DVDs for RA patients which can help me with this ? Any other suggestions ?

We have a terrific post on RA and exercise that can give you places to start. You can also ask your rheumatologists for referrals to a physiotherapist who can help you put together an exercise routine that will keep you fit and strong while still protecting your joints.
