Long-term bed rest can lead to joint stiffness, muscle atrophy, bone atrophy and increased bone fragility. Exercise should be gradual, to the extent that it just triggers pain, warm compresses before exercise, and often change the exercise. Rest at least 10 minutes for every hour of exercise, at least 2 times a day. At the beginning, simple functional exercises such as rehabilitation exercises (attached) can be performed, and later the amount of exercise can be gradually increased to fast walking and backward walking (a proven method that can be easily mastered and adhered to).

This repeatedly stopping the medication, repeatedly relapsing, the condition is not effectively controlled, and the best time for treatment will be lost. Some patients take medication for a long time without laboratory tests, and as a result, they do not know about abnormal blood picture and liver function damage, and it is too late when it is found.
