Myths About Arthritis and Its Impact

Thinking arthritis is just a normal part of aging is actually a total myth.

Osteoarthritis can start destroying your cartilage as early as your twenties, eventually making

joints grind bone-on-bone. Then there’s Rheumatoid Arthritis, where your immune system literally

goes rogue and attacks your own body, usually hitting women under fifty. It gets wilder with

Gout, which is basically uric acid crystals forming in your joints,

and Lupus that messes with your organs. Whether it’s autoimmune or wear-and-tear, catching it early

is everything because once that cartilage is gone, it is never coming back.
