So what is arthritis anyway?
That’s a tough one. "Arthritis" can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissue. Approximately 4.6 million adults (over the age of 15) in Canada have arthritis1. Arthritis is not a single disease; there are many types. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis; TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain can provide fast and long-lasting relief of arthritis pain while being gentle on the stomach.

What are some common signs of osteoarthritis?
Arthritis is characterized by the following traits:
- Morning stiffness lasting 30 minutes or less.
- Joint pain or tenderness that is constant or that comes and goes.
- Not being able to move a joint in the normal way.
- Weakness and joint pain that can't be explained.
This is not a complete list of all possible symptoms. If you think you may be experiencing signs of arthritis, consult your doctor.
You can start protecting your joints by doing any of the following:
- Listen to your body and stop any activity that causes ongoing pain.
- Alternate heavy or repeated tasks with easy tasks or breaks in your daily schedule. Change tasks often.
- Use larger, stronger joints to carry loads. For example, carry a purse on your shoulder instead of with your fingers.
- Don't remain in the same position for a long time; get up and walk around periodically.
- Try some exercise to help relieve your pain. We have some great recommendations here. But please remember to talk to your doctor before beginning or revising any exercise regimen.
