Many arthritis sufferers have trouble working

The government says a third of U.S. adults with arthritis say the chronic condition has limited their ability to work. The numbers are part of a survey released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. It found that 33 percent of U.S. workers with arthritis suffered work limitations in 2003, the latest data available. Arthritis affects an estimated 46 million U.S. adults.
