Humana Health Minutes
From Dr. Terry Sullivan, Medical Director, Humana
MAY 2008
Arthritis
There are a lot of myths about arthritis. One is that it’s just one disease. In fact, there are over 100 forms of arthritis and one of the most common and debilitating is osteoarthritis. Many people are diagnosed each year and early diagnosis is the first step in successful management. Signs include pain in your joints, stiffness and limited use.
May is National Arthritis Month, and The Rocky Mountain region of the Arthritis Foundation can provide you with free information to help you learn to lead a more pain-free life, including exercise through the Arthritis Exercise Program, the Arthritis Aquatic Program and Tai Chi from the Arthritis Foundation. You also need to contact a doctor to prevent any further joint damage. The Arthritis Foundation can provide you with a complete list of doctors. For a free information kit, please visit RockyMountainArthritis.org .
