Fight Arthritis Pain - Video Montage

Expanding waistlines, inactivity and increasing age are contributing to an arthritis epidemic that will impact the lives and wallets of all Americans. One in five adults in the United States (46 million people) has arthritis and an estimated 67 million people will be affected by 2030.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common type of arthritis, currently affects nearly 27 million people in the United States. But there are simple steps everyone can take to prevent and decrease the pain and disability of OA.

This new PSA campaign features fun ways that people can integrate movement into their lives. The PSAs instill a sense of hope for those who have this disease by communicating that moving is the best medicine.

At the new campaign website, www.fightarthritispain.org, visitors can learn simple steps to reduce pain, increase mobility and slow arthritis progression.

I agree moving is the best medicine but you still have to be careful bout which movements are right for you...i have arthritis myself i just found out a little over 2 years ago during my senior year (my 2nd ACL surgery) of high school.from when i was 3 i was a decently active person i did gymnastics, dance, cheerleading, tennis, &basketball,but i cant do that as frequently as i want anymore cuz its not safe to do so, so make sure you talk to your doctor about what's best for u to prevent injury.
