Each month, members of the Arthritis Week Medical Advisory Board will answer questions of general interest submitted by subscribers. At the end of that month, the questions will be added to the Arthritis Week Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) Archive.

In addition to responses by the Arthritis Week Medical Advisory Board, the questions and answers in the FAQ data base draw heavily on responses developed by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Veterans Administration.
