Predisposition/Joint Stiffness

Older people may notice the spread of stiffness more quickly than younger or more active individuals. However people who adopt very sedentary jobs or spend many hours driving can also suffer a greater symptom spread than people with more active jobs. Stiffness, together with the disability it brings, can make you feel older than you are. Often pain can be put down to wear and tear when it may actually be more closely related to the build-up of deep muscular or joint stiffness
