Have arthritis? Here by chance because you know someone who does? Welcome to CreakyJoints, a community for people of all ages with arthritis who want to live their lives despite their condition. A place where having a little chronic pain (or even a lot of chronic pain) is OK, because there are others within earshot who understand.
CreakyJoints.org , the common gathering point for Internet savvy arthritics is the only stop you need to make late at night when you're looking for some edgy support. It's the only place you need to go when you would like to know more about certain conditions or treatments based on what other people are saying, and not some expert who went to medical school to speak another language. Real people who voice real concerns.
Originally started by then 18-year old Seth Ginsberg during the early weeks of his freshman year away at college, CreakyJoints has developed features for the young as well as old. For the sick as well as healthy. For the person with a sense of humor.
Seth, diagnosed with Spondyloarthropathy at the age of 13, is now 26, and reaches out to people with arthritis on an emotional, educational and humorous level. While other start-ups try to make a million dollars, Seth hopes to one day throw a going-out-of-business party when a cure for arthritis is found.
Warm wishes for good health,
The staff of CreakyJoints
