What is Arthritis?

By definition arthritis is painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints that can worsen over time.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, “more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children have some type of arthritis.” That’s a scary thought!

It’s a reality some of us aren’t comfortable facing, but everyone is at risk for suffering some type of arthritis no matter what their age. Some symptoms that you should be aware of include:

•    Swelling
•    Pain
•    Stiffness
•    Decreased range of motion
•    Inability to do daily activities
•    Difficulty walking or climbing stairs

Do you live alone?
