Arthritis Awareness Month timeline
- April 2019
Take a walk
Researchers at Northwestern University confirmed that 10 minutes a day of brisk walking can help prevent disability in people with arthritis pain in their knee, hip, ankle or foot.
- 1948
Steroids
Doctors at the Mayo Clinic first treated patients with an extract of the adrenal gland known as compound E. This offered relief — but would soon result in serious side effects.
- 1930s
Gold injections
Once highly praised, this treatment has fallen out of favor due to potentially severe side effects and the discovery of better meds.
- 1897
Aspirin
Bayer's Felix Hoffman developed aspirin — the first NSAID (nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drug). Numerous pharmaceutical companies, starting in 1970, have launched NSAIDs which are widely used for arthritis pain management.
- 19th century
First modern description
A French medical student provided details of a disease affecting nine female patients, leaving the hand joints swollen and deformed. Bloodletting, a treatment at the time, did not seem to help.
Here’s a rather surprising fact: Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in America. More than 50 million adults and 300,000 children are suffering with joint pain (or disease). Arthritis Awareness Month helps all of us deal with this commonly misunderstood health issue.
There are more than 100 different forms of arthritis and related diseases. The most common types include osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), fibromyalgia, and gout.
Take time this May to learn about prevention and medical care — while finding out which foods can help. And perhaps, most importantly, understand that proper self-care can make a big difference.
