This episode was originally released on May 10, 2022. Feet and/or ankle joints are among the most challenging areas to have arthritis. It can make any activity painful and difficult — and if you’re athletic or very active, you’re at higher risk of developing it. At worst, foot arthritis can be debilitating. The good news is there are more treatment options available today than ever before. Dan Cushman, MD, joins us for this episode to discuss causes and nonsurgical treatments for foot and ankle arthritis, such as corticosteroid shots and rehabilitation exercise.

Dating. It’s a weighted word that triggers eye rolls and a slew of other emotions and emotive responses. While it’s not for the faint of heart, the heart is the very reason why we put ourselves out there and through the dating gauntlet. Dating with a chronic condition like arthritis creates its own level of trials — both physical and emotional.

In this episode, our experts candidly discuss what it’s really like to date with arthritis and explore the challenges, the highs and lows, how to make it safe and potentially less painful … and everything in between.

We all know that staying physically active is one of the best things you can do for your arthritis and overall health. But let’s be honest, staying active when pain is persistent is hard, and at times, may feel impossible.

The research and recommendations for the benefits of physical activity are well documented. The CDC recommends adults with chronic health conditions and disabilities get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity a week and at least two days a week of muscle-strengthening activities. But what does that mean exactly? And what does that look like? And what if you can’t meet those guidelines?

In this episode, our experts we’ll answer those and many more questions about physical activity and arthritis and the importance of starting where you are.
