Most people think arthritis is an inevitable part of aging. Not so,
says the Arthritis Foundation. But the key is to take action now by
seeing your doctor about early symptoms and initiating lifestyle
changes that can prevent or minimize the effects of this disabling

take the Arthritis Foundation?s joint health quiz.
