I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees.

My back only bugs me when I sleep wrong. I feel my knee more than anything, the left one. It's arthritic.

I am falling apart. My hand is falling apart. I can't shake hands. I had arthritis, and I had an operation for it.

I've had 36 orthopedic operations, have two fused ankles, my knees, hands and wrists don't work, I now have a fused spine, other than that, everything is great.

Reactive arthritis is something I've been dealing with for nearly a year.

My message is - keep moving. If you do, you'll keep arthritis at bay.

I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.

I've got a little arthritis that I have to deal with. I was 6 feet 7 when I started, and I've shrunk up a little bit. I'm probably 6-5 or so now. But up here at 82, I feel pretty good. I'm sticking in there.

For many years my inherited arthritis had given me problems.
