OA pain is a real nuisance, especially considering how far spread the condition is. 46 million people in the U.S. suffer from this debilitating disease, making it the #1 disability in the U.S. today. About 1 in 5 people suffer from this to put it in perspective.

As runners we have a certain ammount of conditioning against pain but this condition can affect anyone.

The Arthritis Foundation and the Ad Council have teamed up to spread awareness about this condition to it's sufferers, and to educate them that exercise is the best treatment for OA.

I work for a marketing company that is helping the Arthritis Foundation and the Ad Council spread the aforementioned information so that people worldwide can reduce their suffering. The pain you are experience may be able to be managed through increased activity.
