Tips for Managing Pain and Limited Mobility

Some individuals use mobility devices and find new activities to participate in. Others rely on medication such as Prednisone, Gabapentin, Tylenol, and Ibuprofen. Some people also have their family members help with tasks around the house. There are resources available from aging and disability centers, including care coordinators, home nurses, and medical equipment. Some individuals also use alternative methods like smoking cannabis or using CBD to manage pain and inflammation. Physical therapy can also be beneficial, especially when the therapist understands the specific condition, like hypermobility. Acceptance and finding therapeutic ways to work on limitations is another approach.
