Symptoms Of Arthritis? Discover Apps That Can Help!

Modern technology has even caught up with rheumatoid arthritis: Now, several apps and podcasts are being used to help those with RA to track the symptoms of arthritis, learn about new treatments, and more.

Although they should not be used in place of treatment, of course, they can give sufferers a place to track symptoms of arthritis, learn new yoga moves specifically for arthritis pain, and more.

Here are some of the favorites:

• My Pain Diary (available from iTunes) – Helps you regularly track pain patterns, locations and triggers so you can bring an accurate list to your doctor. Some people feel nervous when they get to the doctor and can’t accurately recount all the pain intensity or patterns, which slows their diagnosis. This app will help you keep track in a simple way (there are even reminders to record regularly) so your next doctor’s visit will move you closer to treatment.
• RAadvisor Podcasts (available from iTunes) – These are informative podcasts that you can listen to on your iPod while you’re riding in the car, relaxing at home, or even getting your daily exercise in. Although they are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies (and therefore always have a medicine-focused treatment plan), they can still be helpful even if you like to take more natural approaches to handling the symptoms of arthritis.
