Arthiritis pain and weight training
Having Juvenile arthritis and intermittent pain in joints, knees and muscles. My nutritionist and trainer has suggested weight training to reduce belly fat and fat from overall body.
I am having unbearable pain after the workout sessions even though I lift very small weights. Is continuing weight training okay for arthritis patients like me?
Is there any solution?

Arthris means "disease of the joints". So common sense implies to give the joints as much rest as possible. Hence weight training which actually puts pressure in your joints is an absolute No No.
