New Study Uncovers Prevalence, Burden of Pediatric Arthritis in U.S.

Are you under 18 and have arthritis? Well, take heart, you are not alone. Research has shown this week that there one in 250 children in the US have been diagnosed with arthritis or similar. It's nice to know there are others just like you, this means support and someone to talk to who will really understand how you are feeling AND it also means more research on treatments for dealing with arthritis in young people.

If you want to read more about the study, you will find it in the December issue of "Arthritis Care & Research."
