Test Your Knowledge of Osteoarthritis

Whether you have osteoarthritis or know someone who has it, you may benefit from taking a short quiz to test your knowledge about the disease.  This quiz, from MCGHealth.org, consists of eight questions and provides information along the way to improve or refresh your knowledge.

Set aside a few minutes to take the osteoarthritis quiz and see if you learn anything new.  With Arthritis Awareness Month coming up in May, you might just want to share this quiz with your family and friends.  The more awareness we bring to arthritis the better!

Osteoarthritis is just one of the 100 diseases in the arthritis family.  As we come across quizzes for other types of arthritis, we will share them with you.

Do You Think You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Are your joints red, swollen and painful?  Do your affected joints feel stiff in the morning?  Do you feel fatigued or have muscle aches?  These are common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis affects 1.3 million people in the United States.  It is an autoimmune disease which must be diagnosed as early as possible to prevent joint damage.

If you think you may have rheumatoid arthritis, watch the educational video below.  Then make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

You may also want to write down your symptoms, how long the symptoms last, where the pain is located, etc.  This information will be helpful to your doctor or rheumatologist.
