There are more than 100 different types of arthritis and in 2005 there were 66 million adults in the USA who were living with some form of arthritis. There are four basic ways to treat arthritis; exercise, diet, heat and cold therapy, and acupuncture. Harvard Medical school publishes a 48-page Special Arthritis Report. It costs $16 and you can order it at Harvard Health Publications, P.O. Box 9306, Big sandy, Texas 75755-9306.

I broke my ankle a couple years ago and I now have arthritis in my left foot. It has caused a lump in my instep that has forced me to buy other shoes that will fit over that lump. I am overall kind of stiff in the morning but it gets better as the day goes on.
