Rx of knee OA. A step in the right direction? Many knee #OA studies show that exercise can help pain and maybe much more - strengthening, alignment, tone, maybe weight loss. Here is a trial - STEP-KOA to support it. #YearInReview #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/rTZUeZuT1c

Blurred line indeed, one could argue that a patient with ACPA+, arthralgia and sub-clinical inflammation detected on MRI is already transitioning toward early RA and fall into the category of patients we should treat anyway. https://t.co/Y1JceOijK0
