Arthritis is more than a pain it's a life sapping pain in the butt and that is fact, however despite populist beliefs, Arthritis is not a life sentence and that is a FACT, for once we understand the rationale behind root cause analysis, we are able to free ourselves from Arthritis's grasp and soar once more like the eagles we were born to be. When will look at the simple tests we can undertake, the simple treatments we can explore, we begin to realise that the medics who wrote us off with Arthritis actually know very little about very little in terms of the root cause and effective treatment options open to those who experience Arthritic symptoms at any stage of their life.
