Poor Paddy! Arthritis is typically associated with older people but can often develop in adults who are in their 40s or 50s. It can also affect people of all ages.
The condition causes joint pain, tenderness and stiffness as well as inflammation and restricted movement around the joint amongst other symptoms.
Around 10million people in the UK have arthritis, according to NHS Choices.
Many fans expressed their sympathy for Paddy following the news, with one commenting: “Awww bless you paddy the joys off getting old eh lol hope you well soon tho”
“Get better soon Paddy take it easy take care to,” another wrote.
It comes just days after Paddy took part in charity football match Soccer Aid and some of his famous teammates have got in touch about his health update.
Jamie Redknapp wrote on the presenters post: “Still looking good though pal . See you Friday big man.”
Olly Murs was feeling a bit cheeky though and quipped about Paddys injury: “Wow its your right arm aswell! 
stop using that arm so much 
”
Paddy then fired back at the singer: “never!!!!”
