if you are following all measures and still develop arthritis in the line, but there are some preventive measures that can be taken.

 Do not smoke, or stop smoking. This can reduce the likelihood of developing RA.
 Try to avoid injury while playing sports or participating in recreational activities.
If your job requires a lot of sitting and writing, practice good posture and, if necessary, get a keyboard or wrist pad or special pad. This can help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. The use of a special brace or splint may also help relieve the problems. These preventive measures to prevent putting too much pressure on these areas.
Repetitive, such as typing, movements can cause arthritis and pain over time. If your job requires a lot of pushing, pulling, or lifting heavy objects, beware. These types of moves, especially when done incorrectly, can cause damage to hands that can lead to arthritis.
