Doctor: Hi,Thank you for providing the brief history of you,Since you mentioned about you have been diagnoses with Sero negative arthritis and on medication which is helping is a good news.As you mentioned about your symptoms of muscular weakness and weakness, this are a part of the RA symptoms.What you need to come out of this symptoms is indulging yourself under a physical therapist who will help you learn how to make the muscle stronger and balance your functional activities without losing more energy.Since you have a pathology, the body mechanism will be running out of energy to support the needs of the cellular mechanism.Undergoing physical therapy session will help your muscles to become stronger, improve the metabolism, improve the fatigue levels to lower down, and overall body conditioning .After all, exercise is the natural way of healing the body as post exercise the body produces its own medicine to heal the body.I recommend you to learn the exercises from a physical therapist.Important note :RA should not travel towards the joints of the ribs. As it is painful and may lead to trouble. For which i will highly recommend to perform regular breathing exercises.With the grace of God i wish you a Good health.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
