Is It Mental Or Real Arthritis
Posted: 07-12-05 10:53am

I dont know whether I have arthritis or not, i'm 16. I experience pain in my knuckles, wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and toes. Sometimes pain happens when I think about arthritis pains or talk about it, so I dont know if its just mental. But it really hurts! What should I do, and is this just mental or real arthritis?

Arthritis can start at any age. Mine started when I was 19 years old. Start taking Osteo-Bi-Flex as soon as possible. Keep your weight down. That will keep from aggravating it. Don't do exercises that are hard on the joints, like running. Do things like swimming. It's not hard on the joints. Drink lots of liquids. You would be surprised how much these little things will help. Keep active, and take care. God bless you.

You might also want to be tested to be sure that it's not rheumatoid arthritis...this type of arthritis can come on quickly and you've got to cope with it for life...so better to be educated now.
