RE: Favorite Place & Biggest Desire - What Are Yours? (Minnow Support Saturday Winner Post)
Medvednica mountain looks like a great place to explore and enjoy natures beauty. I hope you get the chance to hike up the mountain again.
I love your attitude regarding your R.A. I also have it. I've decided that somethings are worth the pain. Soaking in my hot tub really helps my joints. I know eventually, I will need joint replacement surgery. But I intend to put it off for as long as possible.
In the US the there is a company that custom makes the replacement joints based on your x-rays and MRI's. Technology keeps on improving, so there is hope.
Oh, I'm so sorry, didn't know you too are living with RA, @emergehealthier.
And yes, I agree with you - some things are absolutely worth the pain!
As for the joints repalcement, I refused it right away; it's just not an option in my world. But I do know many people recovere afterwards and of course the quality of their lives is now greater. After all, surgeries are the best of modern medicine. Especially if they can adjust the replacement to you, as you said.
For me personally, EFT made the biggest difference. I'm not consistent at practicing it, but it helped me regain joint movement and flexibility. It's very easy to learn, give it a try.
Thanks for reading and for good wishes!!! I wish the best for you too!
I will look into it. I go to the gym and work out on the machines that strengthen the muscle around my joints. I plan on taking the water aerobics class that they have in a heated salt water pool.
