Study: Pain causes osteoarthritis

Pain is not just a symptom of osteoarthritis, it causes the disease, say researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

I am glad to see this article and believe it is absolutely true. I believe it encompasses "emotional" pain also, which can cause "shallow" breathing, I know this is true in my case, that when I do deep breathing exercises my whole body feels better, especially the joints affected by osteoarthritis.
And I have alway's felt that "crunch dieting is a cause, because when I was younger I did alot of strict dieting and I felt it in my bones, I would describe it as feeling like "the marrow of my bones were being sucked out.

Sandy, I invite you to join our Group,

[e-mail] m

We deal w/AutoImmune Diseases,Fibro
and Chronic Pain.

Like Sandy, I also suffer from chronic and disabling pain (caused by
several diseases). I find most Doctors unable or unwilling to treat
chronic pain. As a Society, we must
address this issue NOW! As this article states, Pain is a condition
itself and so does lead to further
damaging diseases like depression,
and other mental as well as physical
life altering conditions.

Thank you for a great and timely
article!
