Excellent session on the contribution of @eularHPR in rheumatology research!
@FerEstevezLopez @DavergneT @RenNorden
#EULAR2023
Very happy to present #exercise and inflammation in RMDs to #BSR2023
Excellent talks in the session by @loulouscorpio (inspiring) and @drradhamodgil and chaired by @jadeskeates and @rhyshayward06
Many thanks indeed for the invitation!!!

#Muscle stiffness after #exercise can last up to 72 hours in health
⚠️Important for patients with #rheumatic & #musculoskeletal disease not to confuse Delayed Onset Muscle Stiffness (DOMS) with disease flare
✅Proceed with gradual increase in exercise
