Home In this discussion: Men's Health Men with arthritis face
some unique obstacles, obstacles that other men don't have to deal with.
Obviously there are the physical issues-the pain, the limitations, but
there are also several emotional issues to struggle with. Arthritis can
impact your sexuality, relationships and self-esteem. It causes other
health concerns. As a man with arthritis
you may be more apt to ignore other health issues. How many times have
you blamed a new symptom on arthritis and ignored it? It's very
important that you are aware of the common health problems that can
affect men. You need to report these signs and symptoms right away.
Having arthritis doesn't prevent you from having other health problems! We'll talk about some of
the problems you face and discuss general men's health issues this week,
so make sure you check in daily! And I would like to thank
the THREE, yes only THREE, men that responded to our men's health
survey. Somehow I expected a low turn out...that's a guy for you...us
women will put you men to shame next week! Don't
forget to join us tonight (July 31tst) at 9:30pm Eastern time in the Chatroom
as Walt Hanks stops in for a Men Only Chat. Community Members
