I've recently had a very lingering 'flu which has taken 4 weeks to clear. Whilst I was ill, I just could not train as usual, so no activity for a month. During that time my elbows really started to ache . Should I not train because I ache ? If I wait, the ache will not stop. So, let's get stuck in.
This week I started training again..... Just two workouts and my elbows feel great.
Keep moving Folks 
We always advocate to keep moving, as you may lose it if you don't use it! Here's our Medical Advisor and Rheumatologist Dr Wendy Holden's new article on the matter: arthritisaction.org.uk/use-...
Very pleased to hear you're on the right track (and the flu is finally over!)

Like you I am a firm believer in exercise. Quite a few countries have national programmes, you recently provided a link to an Australian video. If you search on boa registry sweden you will find several articles on the Swedish one. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi... is one of them. It quotes a research paper (holden 2009) claiming that one third of English physio therapists do not believe in exercise as treatment for knee arthritis. It explains a lot. I have just seen Dr Wendy Holden's name in the reply below. I wonder if that is the same person quoted in the Swedish article.
Thanks for that Kat 
. Interesting article. Btw: I checked in the refs. and it's Melanie A. Holden.
Cheers, Reg
