Welcome to MyOsteoarthritisCentral!
Living with osteoarthritis can be painful and isolating. However, you're not alone; osteoarthritis (OA) affects more than 21 million Americans right now. Understanding OA is the first step toward improving your health.
If you’re living with osteoarthritis, you probably have many questions. That’s normal. And that’s why we have compiled the most in-depth information and best resources available on this serious condition. We can help you take the steps needed to protect your health and live an active life
MyOsteoarthritisCentral is designed around three main areas to make navigation easier:
- Finding information
- Managing your health
- Connecting with other people affected by arthritis – patients, caregivers, medical professionals and others.
The Find section is designed to help you answer questions, get information, and learn about osteoarthritis.
You can learn the Basics of Osteoarthritis, Check a Symptom, learn more about the drugs commonly prescribed for OA, or find answers to frequently asked question in our Arthritis Q & A section.
Our Manage area focuses on helping you take charge of your health. Dealing with arthritis can be overwhelming; let our experts guide you through this difficult time. You can get information on Treatment, learn how Prevent OA, get help on the OA Message Board, or look for Insurance Help on our partner site, CareCentral.
It helps to know you’re not alone; it helps even more to be able to truly connect to others who understand. In the Connect section, you’ll find advice from experts—both medical experts and experts like you who are living with osteoarthritis. Once you register (it’s quick and FREE), you can set up your own profile to display what you want others to know about you. SharePosts are a way to share your wisdom and experience with others. Recommend a book, post a gripe, of even use them as an online diary so you can track your progress and find others to support you.
