Arthritis Foundation Massachusetts We're committed to leading the fight against arthritis by helping the arthritis community conquer everyday battles while forging the path to a cure!

The Arthritis Foundation (www.arthritis.org) leads the way in helping people with arthritis live better today and create better tomorrows through new treatments, better access and, ultimately, cures. We do this by:

• Funding life-changing research that has restored mobility in patients for more than six decades
• Fighting for health care policies that improve the lives of the millions of Americans with arthritis
• Partnering with families to provide empowering programs and information

As the nation’s largest private funder of research, public health programs and advocacy on behalf of the 50 million Americans with this painful disease, the Arthritis Foundation aims to reduce the number of people suffering from arthritis-related physical activity limitations by 20 percent by 2030.

Today is World Mental Health day. We know that Arthritis undermines well-being and mental health. In a recent study, more than 1 in 5 people living with arthritis also have anxiety, and more than 1 in 10 have depression. Not only are people with arthritis living with pain, stiffness and mobility problems, but they are also battling with emotional well-being and mental health.

💚You are not alone! 💚There are resources, support and community through the Arthritis Foundation. Our Helpline (800-283-7800) is just a phone call away and our staff can answer questions, connect you with your local arthritis community and share information.

Aches and stiffness can feel like a normal part of life — but not all joint pain should be shrugged off.​

Here are 5 signs your joint pain might be more than normal aging:​
1️⃣ Stiffness that lasts more than a few minutes in the morning ​
2️⃣ Pain that keeps coming back in the same joints ​
3️⃣ Discomfort with everyday activities, like climbing stairs or standing up ​
4️⃣ Swelling, tenderness or warmth around a joint ​
5️⃣ You’ve started changing how you move to avoid pain ​

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and it may be worth paying closer attention to what your joints are telling you.​
