Planning for an Arthritis Flare on Vacation

Arthritis can flare without warning, often after a day of more walking than usual. On vacation, that can mean the rest of the trip feels out of reach.

Short-notice rental

If you are on the Seacoast, call (603) 395-1246. We can often get a Pride GoGo travel scooter, transport chair or rollator walker to you quickly.

Pace yourself

See arthritis and long days.

Pack for flares

Bring your usual medications, heat or cold packs and comfortable shoes. Plan days with a slower morning, since stiffness is often worst early.

Pick the right equipment

For hand arthritis, a scooter's thumb lever may be easier than pushing a wheelchair. A Pride GoGo travel scooter has a simple throttle. If hands and knees both hurt, a transport chair with a companion pushing may be best.

Plan a quieter day

After a flare, plan an easy day, like a drive along the coast with short stops.
