Most osteoarthritis sufferers come to a point where the pain is simply too much and it becomes to complicated to handle, not wanting to do much and having to do everything. The truth is that it requires energy to move the body from one place to the other as well as picking up and carrying things such as groceries. When there is a medical condition such as this present it interrupts daily life, making it difficult to do every single activity. Please take a minute or two and take in the information below from Osteo Relief Institute and review how to improve how you feel and what can help the most. The best option to consider is to use your management skills and think of it as one of those precious metals, that must be managed with extreme care. First step is to not try to do everything at once, work but incorporate breaks between tasks. When handling that to-do-list make sure alternating heavy with lighter chores. Pacing yourself will keep you encouraged enough to complete it and not bring so much fatigue into the picture.
With most specific tasks there are shortcuts and ways to maximum efficiency. Reading that last sentence may bring you back to that statistics class from years ago, but figuring out what can be skipped, things done at the same time or simultaneously, and combining actions will get you to the desired goal faster while reducing the burden on the joints, especially the knees. Feel it out and make sure you use the knowledge in stored in the brain as much as possible, simply prioritize and do the most important first. The super man or woman attitude is something to put behind us and realize that we only have to feel better to have good days, so manage as best as possible to the extent where you have energy left to do fun activities.
