osteo arthritis and yoga

i was diagnosed with osteo arthritis in the feet in 09 with thr right medical treatment and being diagnosed early. im doing ok my dr recomended  yoga i do get cramps in my feet and sometimes like last night  they keep me up all night.
but i have noticed  since keeping  up with  the yoga my feet are a lot better they feel like they felt before developing osteo arthritis.
becideds my yoga workout my dr has given me some exersises  to do  to eleivate the pain and they are.

walking on the heels  of your feet.

raising yourself onto your toes and back down again.

standing with your arch onto a step and stepping up and down.

all of these foot exercises i do in sets of 10
but i started with 1 set of each of these.
all baby steps until you get to your desired  number.

the medications i take are a combination of natural and medical they are

evening primrose oil 2000mg

fish oil  3000mg.

magnesium 500mg.

vitamine D 800  IU

caltrate plus 1200mg.

panadol osteo  1330mg {three  times a day}

all my doses are within the safe limits and all recommended
{NOTE}
always seek the advice of your DR and chemist before taking any natural or prescribed medication

i also have bed socks  and slippers on my feet at all times or thongs in the summer with this condition  i can never walk on the bare floor again without some form of foot ware.
as well as keeping a healthy weight the more you put on with oesto arthritis  or any form of arthritis the worse you will be.
all this helps for a happy pain free life.
