3. Arthritis, in any form, sucks
Has your doctor recommended weight lifting to you yet? It's helping me A LOT! :hug:

5. Lifting weights has helped my spine tremendously
Maybe it could help you too.

7. Omega-3's!
Exercise and a more purified diet with Vit D and the right kinds of calcium will go a long way for your condition. Good luck.
