A new study released said more than 34,000 military personnel treated between 2004 and 2007 suffered from back, joint and muscle pain.  The study said more active military service personnel are dealing with the effects of arthritis and joint pain.

Military personel are the biggest sufferers of arthritis as their bodies endure tough exercises and duty in the field. 

"Active military personnel serving in certain parts of the world endure harsh climates and navigate mountainous terrain, which can be extremely rough on joints throughout the body," said Tamer Elsafy, CEO and founder of Flexcin International.

Flexin International, Incorporated saw its biggest increase in 2009 from active duty military for arthritis relief.
