Arthritis has been something I have had to deal with for the past eight months. Its a funny thing as I never had this pain ever before in my entire life. The thing that bothers me most is that I suddenly feel like I’m one hundred years old. I really feel this in my knees. One thing a friend of mine said to do was to get a Japanese soaking tub. These tubs cans help with the pain of arthritis. He said that because the tubs are deep and have a seat I can have my whole body up to my neck in hot water.
