I will answer your questions. I am 54, and because of the arthritis in my knees I cannot run or walk like I used to. I cannot get on my knees to play with an animal or a child. As for medication or doctors advise. They help to a certain extent and then there seems to be a leveling off. The pain is still there. I do not feel that it is represented properly anywhere. The medicines that they advertise do not help as much as the ads say. And arthritis can be very debilatating. I hope this helps you and good luck with your paper.
