Q: Joint pain - arthritis ?

I am only 20 years old, and ever since I can remember I have been experiencing joint pain. The pain will be in either my hips, knees, or ankles. Sometimes all three. It occurs when I walk even for a short amount of time. My hips also pop when I walk, or sit up from a laying position. The pain can be very bad at times. Could I have arthritis at this young of age?
