Slowing weight gain to reduce joint pain

English

Being overweight is bad for the joints. It is really hard to lose weight even though many women with joint pain are advised to lose weight. Most adults gain about half a kilogram per year which adds up over the years. The good news is that slowing this weight gain can reduce joint pain and has other health benefits.

Avoiding unnecessary imaging for joint and back pain

English

Women who experience back and joint pain may believe they need imaging of the joints such as x-ray or MRI to investigate and diagnose their pain. In most women with back or joint pain this is not recommended as it does not help joint pain or back pain to improve faster. There can be disadvantages with unnecessary imaging as it can add extra costs, worry, and may add delays to getting the most appropriate treatment.

Healthy joints, healthy heart

English

People who experience joint pains are twice as likely to die of a heart attack or stroke in later years than people who don’t have joint pain. That’s why joint pain can be a “wake up call” to improve both joint health and heart health. Most heart problems happen because risk factors such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure are not treated or are under-treated. Because these risk factors don’t cause any symptoms, people may not realise they have them until they have a heart attack or a stroke. So, if you have joint pain this can be a good reminder to have a health check. Talk to your doctor about your general health and ask for any recommended tests to check your heart health.
