1 in 4. That’s not just a statistic. That’s your family. That’s your friend. That’s you. Arthritis affects all of us. This World Arthritis Day, share this post to remind people living with arthritis that they are seen, heard and not alone. 💚 Visit arthritis.org for resources and support. #WorldArthritisDay #ArthritisAwareness

For millions of people living with chronic pain, pain is a part of their every day. It’s the plans made around pain. The things that take more energy. The good days, the hard days and everything in between. This September, we’re making space for the realities of living with pain — and making sure people living with pain feel seen, heard and understood. 💚 #PainAwarenessMonth #ChronicPain #Arthritis

Living with pain can look different every day. And whatever today looks like, you don’t have to face it alone. 💚 #PainAwarenessMonth #ChronicPain #Arthritis #ArthritisAwareness

There’s a lot that can go unseen when you live with arthritis. 💚 Some days take more energy, more planning and more recovery than anyone else might realize. And sometimes, the hardest part is feeling like you have to explain what you’re experiencing. Finding people who understand can make those moments feel a little less lonely. That’s what Connect Groups are all about — real conversations, shared experiences and a community where you can show up exactly as you are. 🤝

Supporting someone living with chronic pain doesn’t mean having all the answers. Sometimes, it means listening without judgment. Believing them when they tell you how they’re feeling. Being flexible when plans change. Asking what they need instead of assuming. Small actions can make someone feel seen, heard and supported. 💚 #Arthritis #PainAwarenessMonth #ArthritisAwareness

Sometimes, “I’m fine” is the easiest thing to say — even when you’re carrying pain, fatigue, a flare or the weight of managing life with arthritis. In Connect Groups, you don’t have to say you’re fine. You just have to show up as you are. Connect Groups are a place to share, listen and connect with others who truly get it. 👉 Find a Connect Group and connect with your people at connectgroups.arthritis.org. #Arthritis #ArthritisCommunity

For people living with arthritis, these aren't signs of being less capable. They're ways of navigating work while managing a chronic condition. This #NDEAM, let’s create workplaces where people feel supported, understood and able to do their best work. #DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth #ArthritisAwareness

Swipe to the last photo to see how much @mattiseman won for the Arthritis Foundation on @celebrtywheeloffortune! 👀💚 Matt knows firsthand what it means to live with rheumatoid arthritis, and he has been a dedicated advocate for the arthritis community, using his voice to raise awareness and support for others living with the disease. We’re so grateful for Matt and his support — and this win! 🙌 #CelebrityWheelOfFortune

“Want to hang out?” can sound like a simple question. But for someone living with arthritis, the answer can involve a whole lot of invisible math: How much energy do I have? How much will this take? How am I feeling today? And how might I feel tomorrow? You see the plans. You don’t see the math. For Invisible Disabilities Week, we’re sharing a glimpse into the calculations that can happen behind everyday decisions. 💚 #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek #InvisibleDisabilities

50,000 of us here on Instagram. 💚 That’s 50,000 people who have found information, support, understanding and a community that gets what it’s like to live with arthritis. But there are millions more people living with arthritis who may not know this community is here for them. So, help us spread the word. Share this post with someone living with arthritis — a friend, family member, coworker or anyone who could use trusted resources and a community that understands. You could be the reason someone finds their people. 💚 #ArthritisCommunity #ArthritisAwareness #ArthritisFoundation

What if rheumatoid arthritis is actually several diseases rather than one? A new Arthritis Foundation-funded study will investigate whether age-related blood stem cell mutations known as CHIP contribute to a distinct subtype of RA. By uncovering why patients experience different disease courses and treatment responses, researchers hope to move closer to more targeted, effective care. Research like this brings us one step closer to personalized treatments and better lives for people living with RA. Learn more: https://arthr.org/4xcDoyJ
