Meanwhile your tailored exercise programme will have commenced which focuses on strengthening up the weak areas so that the troubled joint doesn’t have to bear the brunt to the same extent.

3 Part Series on `What is Arthritis`
Nerve Pain
can be extremely painful, quite debilitating, leaving you feeling weary, lacking in sleep and worried that you will never see a normal day every again. There are many different presentations of nerve pain but the most common are ARM PAIN which typically is referred from structures in the neck or LEG PAIN (back of leg) which is commonly referred to as Sciatica.
This sort of pain can be extremely debilitating even with medication but thankfully can be treated with hands on techniques, exercises and sensible advice. What you need to know is that Nerve pain can be helped by physiotherapy treatments and specific exercises and it is not a thing that you have to live with for the rest of your life as we so often hear people say.
Nerve Pain is however more challenging to treat as it can be often be easily aggravated, particularly during the earlier stages of the recovery process and requires attention to detail when it come to the assessment, treatment techniques and rehabilitation exercises used so that you get free from pain and get back to doing work and hobbies with confidence without the pain coming back and you having to ‘live with it’.
