When I think of Arthritis I immediately think about those who are either older or have given their joints a life of prolonged and repetitive use. But then on occasion I've found my joints clenching and stiff when I'm at the computer. I began searching for information on the discomfort was just happening to me?
According to the Arthritis Society of Canada, there are over 4.6 million Canadian adults (or one in six Canadians aged 15 years and older) who report having moderate to minor arthritis and there are more than 100 related conditions. The most common symptoms include joint pain and swelling and can interfere with one's ability to manage daily activities. It is the most common chronic condition reported by women and the third most common by men and the level of discomfort varies.
