I broke my arm many years ago when I was skiing. I know I have arthritis in that arm because that area is often stiff and I don't have as much range of motion.

This arm really hurts on days that are cold and damp and I know it is from some type of degenerative arthritis in my joints where I had the break.

On another ski trip, I injured my knee and that knee is also the one that gives me troubles. All of my old injuries are coming back to haunt me with arthritis. I don't know why that seems to happen as you age, but those are the areas where I have the most pain and stiffness.

I don't have any type of rheumatoid arthritis, but have noticed a significant difference in my joints as I have gotten older.

Now I think twice about getting down on the floor for something because it will take me longer to get up. I have also noticed a difference when I am gardening.

It is not as easy to get up and down and do all the bending that is required when you garden. At the end of a long day, my joints are stiff and sore. I have found that soaking in a tub of hot water gives me some relief.

I have joined that group of people who are over 50, and know what it feels like to have joints that are stiff, sore and don't work the way they used to.

I find it interesting that even dinosaurs had problems with arthritis. This is something that is also very common in dogs. Every dog I have ever owned that has made it to old age, has had some form of arthritis.

The larger dogs seems to be affected with this more than the smaller dogs. I had a golden retriever who started having problems with arthritis when she was about 8 years old. It was harder for her to get up and move around.
