Arthritis causes more than just pain. It's one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Some have no symptoms, others really struggle.
I was officially diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my right shoulders AC joint about 6 months ago, but I believe I have had it for at least 3 years prior to the diagnosis.
It got to the point I couldn't even lift my arm up to my chest, and was in 7/10 pain daily.
But after a cortisone shot, with 1 hour of physical therapy every day for the past 6 months, countless physiotherapy appointments, and a change in diet, it's much improved. Pain is at about a 4/10 most days, but it's always there. I have regained mobility.
I thought I would throw this thread out into the wild and see if anyone is interested in adding to the discussion.
I want to be clear, this is not a pity party thread, lets discuss business opportunities in this space that can change people's lives for the better!
Let all of us know if any lifestyle changes improved things for you also.
The treatments available for Osteoarthritis are sub par, and nothing really fixes the issue, but having been in this space for some time has given me a few business ideas:
One of them is an AC shoulder brace. Everything on the market so far fails to address the issue for AC joint arthritis adequately.
The only thing that I have found that helps is "underwrap adhesive tape" but the costs can add up if you are taping it every day and are quite physically active.
A shoulder brace made correctly would cost more upfront, but less over the long term. Not to mention more convenient.
Other drugs that are in clinical trials look promising, one I have an eye on is "pentosan polysulfate sodium"
