What if buttoning your shirt or walking to your front door hurts so much that these daily tasks are almost impossible? People living with arthritis face challenges at home, in relationships and in the workplace.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Among the top three chronic diseases in Canada, arthritis is a group of more than 100 different types. The most common type, osteoarthritis (OA), causes more than 80% of hip and knee joint replacement surgeries. Inflammatory forms of the disease, like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, can cause the destruction of joints and soft tissues around the joints causing pain, disability, significant lost quality of life, and even an early death.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While arthritis affects one out of five Canadians, no standardized model of arthritis care is available in one, let alone all, provinces and territories. The time to address models of care in arthritis is now, and it is critical. Today, more than 6 million Canadians are living with arthritis. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within a generation, the number of Canadians with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most disabling and life-threatening types \u2013 osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis \u2013 is expected to significantly increase. Along with the anticipated growth in patient volume is the research that shows by 2025 a third of Canadian rheumatologists will have retired.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about arthritis visit <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jointhealth.org\/\">Arthritis Consumer Experts<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-3fd6d5bb\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-3fd6d5bb\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: #1f475e;\"><strong>Arthritis \u2013 Spotlights:<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jointhealth.org\/\"><b>Arthritis Consumer Experts<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(ACE) has created spotlight profiles of some of the more than 100 types of arthritis.

It can make daily activities\u2014getting dressed, opening a door or even walking up stairs\u2014extremely difficult or impossible. Inflammatory forms of the disease can cause the destruction of joints and soft tissues around the joints causing pain, disability, lost quality of life, and in severe cases, early death.<\/span><br><br><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle vce-faq-toggle-color--ba-24-151-212-0-82 vce-faq-toggle-shape-color--b-255-255-255 vce-faq-toggle-shape--rounded\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-7082aac4\" data-vce-do-apply=\"margin padding border background  el-7082aac4\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-inner\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-title\"><h3 class=\"vce-faq-toggle-title-text\" aria-controls=\"faqToggle-7082aac4\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><i class=\"vce-faq-toggle-icon\"><\/i>Myth 4: \u201cArthritis isn\u2019t a big deal.\u201d<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-text-block\" role=\"region\" id=\"faqToggle-7082aac4\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Arthritis is among the top three chronic diseases in Canada and can be devastating, disabling and fatal. As Canada\u2019s most common cause of disability, arthritis disables two to three times more workers than all other chronic conditions. More than a quarter of Canadians with arthritis aged between 25 and 44 are not in the labour force because of their disease. Early detection can set the course for treatment and actions that can greatly reduce the effects of arthritis and improve quality of life.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle vce-faq-toggle-color--ba-24-151-212-0-82 vce-faq-toggle-shape-color--b-255-255-255 vce-faq-toggle-shape--rounded\" id=\"myth_5\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-19e432fc\" data-vce-do-apply=\"margin padding border background  el-19e432fc\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-inner\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-title\"><h3 class=\"vce-faq-toggle-title-text\" aria-controls=\"faqToggle-19e432fc\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><i class=\"vce-faq-toggle-icon\"><\/i>Myth 5: \u201cArthritis research receives the right amount of funding compared to how many people are affected by it.\u201d<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-text-block\" role=\"region\" id=\"faqToggle-19e432fc\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14pt; color: #ffffff;\">Although arthritis is one of the most common, debilitating and costly chronic diseases in Canada, arthritis research receives much less funding than many other chronic diseases.

Physical activity actually \u2018feeds\u2019 the joints because cartilage depends on joint movement to absorb nutrients and remove waste. Weight management is also critical. For each pound of excess body weight lost, there is a corresponding four-fold reduction in the load exerted on the knee joint during daily activities.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-eb285f0b\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-eb285f0b\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: #1f475e;\"><strong>Arthritis FAQs<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Click to expand each FAQ:<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle vce-faq-toggle-color--b-149-213-245 vce-faq-toggle-shape-color--b-31-71-94 vce-faq-toggle-shape--rounded\" id=\"faq\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-f0dd6d19\" data-vce-do-apply=\"margin padding border background  el-f0dd6d19\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-inner\"><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-title\"><h3 class=\"vce-faq-toggle-title-text\" aria-controls=\"faqToggle-f0dd6d19\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><i class=\"vce-faq-toggle-icon\"><\/i>Q: How do I know if I have arthritis?<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"vce-faq-toggle-text-block\" role=\"region\" id=\"faqToggle-f0dd6d19\"><p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14pt; color: #1f475e;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600; font-style: normal;\">A:&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you recognize arthritis symptoms, it is important to speak with your physician or pharmacist about what you are experiencing.

It is caused by a breakdown in the cartilage in joints resulting in bones rubbing together leading to pain, stiffness and eventual loss of use. Some forms of OA are genetically driven, while others are a result of injury, overuse, or advanced age.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: #1f475e;\">Women and men are equally likely to be affected by osteoarthritis.
