Arthritus is a disease that comes in many forms and causes pain in the joints. It affects more women that men, approximately 50% from one statistic I've seen. I've heard that there are more than 100 different forms of arthritus! Nearly 1 in 3 adults in the US may suffer from some sort of chronic joint pain. I wonder if it affects women more for the same reasons that women are more susceptible to skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis.
