Today is a national Osteoarthritis Day!!!

We also spoke to Judy Boddy – from the Arthritis Foundation of South Africa. We were talking about Osteoarthritis. Today is a national Osteoarthritis Day, so the aim of this interview was to raise more awareness about this condition. It is reported that Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and affects up to 10% of the world's population. According to experts, most people don't feel the symptoms of Osteoarthritis before age 40. Judy explained more about those symptoms and whether it is treatable or not.
