Arthritis Information

 Everyone who has arthritis should stay up to date with the latest arthritis information. Research on arthritis is continual and hopefully a cure will be found someday soon.

There are various Internet sites you can visit that will keep you updated on all of the latest news and arthritis information. The Arthritis Foundation is a great place for arthritis information located at: arthritis.org.  Here you can learn about all of the various forms of arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation is full of arthritis information, including drug treatments, alternative therapies, how to understand your lab tests, and more. You can also take a quiz to see what kind of health your joints are in.

One website you should check out is the Arthritis National Research Foundation. This website also provides a lot of arthritis information: curearthritis.org.  Also, if you are interested in supporting arthritis research, this is a great place to start.

The library is also a great place for arthritis information.  You can learn about various alternative treatments, medication and read stories of other arthritis patients.  You could also contact your local hospital to see what services they offer your community in way of arthritis information and support.

Your doctor is your best source of arthritis information, as he has the knowledge and experience to answer your questions.  Many patients do not want to take up their doctor’s time and avoid asking questions for fear of sounding foolish or naive.  However, any good doctor will encourage you to ask questions and he or she will do everything they can to keep you abreast of all the latest arthritis information.
