Woke up in pain today. I think it has alot to do with the weather. It is rainy, chilly, and I dont like it. Damn you sun!!! Why did you have to leave me? I went for a bike ride anyway and I still feel like the tin man. Someone needs to come oil me up, Preferably a handsome single doctor. :):):) I am starting to work on my managing pain page, please let me know any tips or tricks you have for dealing with pain or if there is anything else you would like to see on here. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

*comes to the rescue with some oil(I hope olive oil is okay, it's all I have on hand!)*

I'm sorry to hear that you woke up in pain today, but hope that as the day moved on your pain decreased!

I love this site and think you're doing a great job :) I will be revisiting often!

Pain. Oh how I am familiar with the pain. While I don't have RA, I have Psoriatic Arthritis.

Heat has been my friend. Hot showers loosen me up enough in the mornings so that I can attempt to move a bit. During the day, I run really warm water over my fingers/hands when they start to get painful.

I found your page while browsing arthritis blogs and felt I should comment. I agree that the weather can have a real impact on arthritis aches and pains. Rain often makes me stiff and I have also found that when it is very hot it can exacerbate swelling (for me anyway).

I admire you for keeping moving - that definitely is a good move as remaining stationary only worsens the stiffness.

I second Colleen's advice about heat. I think the best is a warm bath if you are able to have baths. If not, a shower will be a good second.
