Depends on the type of arthritis you have. Most common degenerative arthritis is called Osteoarthritis and this form of arthritis can be managed by maintaining your BMI under 25 and by strengthening the muscles around your knee joints like the hamstrings and quadriceps muscles. This takes time so be patient with your self and don’t give up . Keep moving . More you move better you will do and feel . Hoping this helps . Take care now
You can try to maintain optimal weight, eat right and exercise with a low impact regimen
