It has been estimated that the total cost of the arthritis bill for the United States, in terms of hospitalization, doctor visits, medications, physical therapies, nursing-home care, lost wages, early death, and family discord is over $50 billion dollars annually.
This does not include the nearly $2 billion spent each year in the United States on unproven remedies by patients addressing their symptoms on their own.
