Exercise is crucial if you have arthritis. But knowing just how much activity to do when youâre hurting can be tricky. After all, research has shown that moderate activity can help prevent the progression of arthritis and improve overall function. But while mild muscle soreness after a workout is normal, sharp pain during or immediately after can signal injury.
