According to a recent article in The Daily Mail, an occasional tipple may lower the risk of developing a common form of arthritis.
A new study, at Military Medical University in Shanghai, based on 200,000 people suggest low to moderate alcohol consumption for a least ten years reduced the risk of rheumatoid arthritis by 17 percent.
They do not know why alcohol might have this beneficial effect, but it is believed it may help to reduce inflammation.

I am a mum and wife to a lovely caring family. I’ve suffered with chronic back pain for over 30 years and started writing my first blog in 2007 which covered back and chronic pain. Since then I have written many more blogs for myself and customers. I find it takes me away from my pain to another place. I love it so much I think it should be part of a recovery process after illness or surgery. I hope you enjoy reading through my blogs.

I find alcohol a brilliant pain reliever which can be pretty instant but then when it wears of I feel much worse so maybe that’s the same with you 🙂
