This Weapons of Choice video (youtube.com/watch?v=IZ73Mf1nb_s) featuring the story of Brian Teacher (that’s him above!), a tennis pro who fights his arthritis by playing the sport he loves, the Pain Tip App (tipshare.fightarthritispain.org). There you can learn tips on how to manage osteoarthritis pain and share tips of your own. Also see the Visualization Tool (weapons.fightarthritispain.org) which allows users to share their weapons against arthritis and learn what others do in their fight against the disease. Check it out!
Did you know that Arthritis is the nation’s leading cause of disability? It impacts one in every five adults and affects 4 million people in the US and hundreds of millions around the world. No one deserves to live every day in pain.
I have chronic back pain that my spine doctor refers to as arthritis. I stay in denial about the name of the disease because I consider myself far too young to have arthritis, that is something my parents generation suffers from, not me! Although I turned around and am suddenly 53, so maybe I need to break the denial!
