• Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help in reducing inflammation in the tissue.

• Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching and impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights.

• In chronic arthritis or joint pain, fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines are also affected. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that have a minimum level of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.

• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation condition. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to minimize pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.

Pain: is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is associated with tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Perception of pain can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable.

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which the Glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. This fluid is used by the body to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, then the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones, leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion.  It causes the bone to rub together, leading to pain, stiffness, and other osteoarthritis symptoms. This disease can occur in any joint, but commonly affected areas of the body are hands, fingertips, knees, hips, and spine, typically at the neck or lower back. The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with fingers), stiffness, and inflammation.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune cells attack the joints and cause bone erosion, leading to severe pain and swelling. It may lead to joint deformity if left untreated.
