THE TERM arthritis is defined as
the inflammation of a joint. It is
widely used to describe more than.
115 different conditions that can
cause aching and pain in the
body's joints, and connective,

In all its forms, arthritis affects
more than 3.7 million Canadians.
Arthritis can attack men, women

ly appears after 40.

While many aches and pains are
normal, and soon pass, any pattern
— always in a certain joint, always
when getting out of bed —’ may
signal the condition.

If this pattern fits you or any
member of your family, consult
your doctor immediately. The
earlier the diagnosis, the better the
final result will be.

The most common forms are
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis
and gout. .

Disability can be: ‘prevented’ in’
about four or five cases, even for
rheumatoid patients, the most
seriously affected. | :

But because all causes of ar-
thritis have yet to be identified,
complete cure of all cases remains
@ goal. |

There are Jaws to protect us
from miracle cures made by un-
qualified people.

Before buying a pain remedy for |
a self-diagnosed problem, ask your
pharmacist for advice. He or she is
qualified to recognize the early
warning signs of arthritis. :

If medication is prescribed, your -
pharmacist can follow up with any
further information you require.

However, your success in.
fighting arthritis depends on more
than just the treatment your doctor
prescribes. You are the most im-
portant part of the treatment team.
Become involved and follow your
prescribed treatment program
faithfully.
