Why haven’t we cured arthritis? – Kaitlyn Sadtler and Heather J. Faust



Get to know the science behind what causes the stiff, creaky joints of the most common forms of arthritis and what you can do to prevent it.

The bad backs, elbow pain, and creaky knees so common in older people often aren’t just “old age.” In fact, the source of this stiffness plagues many young people as well. The culprit is arthritis: a condition that affects over 90 million people in the U.S. alone. What makes arthritis so pervasive, and why haven’t we found a cure for it? Kaitlyn Sadtler and Heather J. Faust investigate.

  1. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when I was 17. I had been having symptoms since the age of 11 but it’s extremely hard to get a diagnosis in my country. It’s been extremely difficult for me, especially since I was told that if I hadn’t been keeping up with yoga (which I’m quite fond of) I would’ve been completely seized up by now.

    Fortunately I’ve been dating Methotrexate ever since, but I’ve been struggling very much with the symptoms of the medication. Today I decided to come to this video in the search of why there is no definite cure as today I had one of my worst flare ups ever during school. Throughout the day, my legs in particular just started to hurt so much. My knees felt as if they were crunching with every step resulting in me having to leave the school early.

    Nobody should have to suffer with arthritis, not the young or the old. I hope and pray that those doing their research will soon make a breakthrough and provide help to those in need. Until that day comes, I wish them the best of luck.
