Pain is one of the most common — and most challenging — parts of living with arthritis. But relief can come from more than just medication.

In the latest episode of the Live Yes! With Arthritis podcast, host Jamie Nicole talks with pain specialist Dr. Yawar Qadri about the many factors that influence pain and the wide range of treatment options available, from medications and nerve therapies to lifestyle strategies, complementary approaches and more. The conversation also explores the connection between pain, sleep, stress and overall well-being.
