If you’ve ever smiled through a flare just to avoid judgment—this one’s for you.
We’re not faking illness. We’re faking wellness to survive in an ableist world.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not real.
Arthritis is a war waged silently — in joints, in energy, in everyday moments most take for granted.
This #ArthritisAwarenessMonth, honor the invisible battles. Believe the pain. Respect the fight.

EXERCISE & ARTHRITIS PAIN

STOP ACTIVITY WHEN:
🔴Pain is sharp or intense
🔴Joints become swollen/hot
🔴Joint feels unstable or unable to support your weight
🔴Persistent fatigue or discomfort after exercise

Arthritis Foundation
#PAM2025 #MySeveralWorlds #PainAwarenessMonth
#ArthritisAwarenessMonth
Here's a good reminder from Arthritis Foundation to keep in mind with exercise and arthritis pain. The reason I post this today is because in 2009 when I experienced knee swelling and pain just before I got my axSpA diagnosis, I thought a gentle walk might help. I got myself into a situation where my legs gave out and I could not get home. That is when I realized I needed medical attention and the ER doctors I saw in Taiwan immediately suspected inflammatory arthritis. That urge to move is strong because arthritis patients know 'motion is lotion'. If we don't use it, we lose it! But we also need to remember our joints can only handle so much and often 'rest is best'. As we wrap up September and this huge awareness month, I hope you found my posts helpful!

#InsideBrigantLab How do aging cells drive joint damage?🤔
In osteoarthritis, chondrocytes lose their repair abilities and release proteins that accelerate cartilage breakdown, fueling joint degeneration. 🦴

Stay tuned for more insights ! 💡 #MedSky #AcademicSky #cellularbiology #BrigantLab
🌟 Inside Brigant Lab : The chondrocytes cells 🌟 Have you ever wondered how aging cells contribute to joint damage? Let’s dive into the science together! 🧠💡 Meet the chondrocytes, the architects of cartilage health, maintaining its structure and function. But in osteoarthritis (OA), their balance is disrupted. These cells start contributing to cartilage breakdown, driving joint degeneration. As they age, chondrocytes lose their ability to repair cartilage and produce proteins that accelerate its destruction—worsening joint damage and fueling the progression of OA. Understanding their role is key to unlocking new treatments. 🧬🦴✨ Image: Chondrocyte cells in 2D culture Want to know more? Stay tuned for more #InsideBrigantLab posts, where we’ll share insights into our research and an exclusive preview of what’s next in our scientific journey. 🔍 #CellularBiology #chondrocyteresearch #osteoarthritis #science #research #ArthritisAwarenessMonth #MolecularMedicine#sciencecommunication#lablife #brigantlab #insidebrigantlab
