@therheumdoc: Total rest isn’t always the answer. Avoiding movement for too long can lead to more stiffness, loss of strength, reduced mobility, and even more difficulty getting back to your normal routine. That does NOT mean you should push through severe pain or continue your usual workout during a flare. ❌ It means your movement needs to be adjusted to what your body can handle right now. 👉 Want to know exactly what movement can look like during an RA flare?
