Reader Stories: Have You Been Trapped Because of Arthritis?

Arthritis is associated with joint pain and physical limitations. You may find yourself caught off-guard by those limitations at some point. You could find yourself trapped in a chair, stuck on a toilet, unable to walk farther, or unable to get up after falling.

In spite of how many stories you have heard about being trapped, when it happens to you, it's shocking! The old "Help, I Can't Get Up" TV commercial never seemed less funny!

Have you ever been trapped and needed someone to come to your rescue? Has your experience inspired you to use assistive devices that will help you avoid being trapped in the future?
