<span>This sounds like Osteoarthritis to me. Pain usually associated with joint or muscle pain is usually caused by aging and the bones / muscles weakening over time losing bone mass and structure in the process. This happens also when the bones rub against each other, and it causes very painful swelling or lose of function around the joints.</span>

The correct answer is osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is also called degenerative joint disease and is the most common chronic disease of the joints. People suffering from osteoarthritis report pain in their joints, stiffness and loss of flexibility. It is caused by the deterioration of the cartilage between the joint spaces, which protects and acts as a cushion.

How dose science influence the decisions made about social, economic, and political issues?
inysia [295]
This is a rather subjective question and has a lot to do with the type of society in which one lives. the more secular the world is becoming... gives science a huge spotlight on the stage. because science provides an answer with tons of evidence to back it up, it is seen as a reliable method to follow. So, socially speaking you may have experienced in a normal conversation where someone turns around and tells you that your opinions are just opinions and have nothing factual to back them up. This is where science comes in. Economically and politically speaking, science is used to justify different political aims of governments. However, this is done mostly through the misrepresentation of science by people who are trying to pursue their own agenda. So really this question can be answered in many ways and from many different perspectives but do not forget that science influences all streams for the better but also for the worse in the way in which it is represented.

Hope that helped
