Arthritis
The CDC declares arthritis a “massive public health problem”. One in five adults suffer from arthritis, increasing to one in two for those of us 65 and older. I discovered this past week during a visit to a foot surgeon I have arthritis in my right foot. I hadn’t identified the discomfort I was experiencing as arthritis. Many of us may be in similar situations and need to discuss with our health care professionals.

It is Medicare enrollment season and many of us are receiving phone calls and mailers soliciting our business. Unfortunately, this brings out the scammers as well who are looking to take advantage of senior citizens. This article from the Chicago Sun Times offers some good ideas on how to protect yourselves.
