Arthritis is not limited to adults

While arthritis is usually thought of as a disease of the aging, more than 40 million Americans, both young and old, suffer from some form of arthritis.

Ana-Carlin Krueger is an active fourth grader and an excellent big sister to two-month-old Emmie Sinclair.

Krueger, however, has had her share of hard times.

"Yea, I used to have to take pills, and it didn't feel well," she said.

It started with a fever, an upset stomach and a funny walk.

Caroline Krueger, Ana-Carlin's mom, said, "They tested for everything from HIV to Mad Cow Disease and all of these outlandish things they had to rule out."
