Famous People with Arthritis

Shaquille O’Neal

NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal has had osteoarthritis for over a decade. The symptoms from the disease affect Shaq’s size-23 feet, causing pain in his toes. Osteoarthritis is more common in people at the extremes of height and weight, such as 7-foot-1-inch tall Shaquille O’Neal, and often takes a toll on weight-bearing joints like the knees.
