Living with chronic pain is not a breeze, but you can make it a lot more bearable if you have the following tools, gadgets, and even amenities to make daily function easier.
Definitely, people suffering from arthritis will find it hard to move around, and yet they would prefer some amount of privacy during private moments such as taking a bath. Here are a few suggestions on how to take care of your personal hygiene and grooming when there is no one around to provide help:
Equipped the bathroom with long-handled brushes or sponges to scrub hard-to-reach body parts.
Provide shower benches, not only for you to sit on, but to navigate getting into and out of the bathtub more conveniently.
Place non-skid rubber bathmats on the floor as well as grab bars to avoid accidents and easier navigation.
Install lever-type faucets instead of knobs for easier handling. A shower spray with hose attachment can make rinsing a lot easier.
For those who have difficulty bending down, a raised toilet seat can do the trick.
