Young Adults with Arthritis

Last Updated: February 2010

There are 200 different forms of arthritis and related musculo-skeletal conditions. Contrary to common perceptions, these conditions are not confined to the elderly but also affect young people. There is no known cause, and no cure.

These Speaking from Experience clips offer first-hand accounts from young people living with arthritis. They discuss the ways in which it has impacted their lives and the ways they manage the condition. It was produced in partnership with Arthritis Victoria.
