Arthritis is more common than you may think. According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis "is an informal way of referring to joint pain or joint disease." There are actually 100 different types of arthritis, and more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children have some type of arthritis, making it the leading cause of disability in America.
