at xmas i took really not well my back went then i felt pain in my finger joints and my knees i was totally freaked out went to the doctors he told me id be out of work for 3 months. Anyways i ended up being reffered to rhematology doctors who asked lots of past medical questions like do i get rashes in the sun i said well in the last few years i have been getting prickly heat and have become allergic to the sun and i also developed asthma over the past 2 years. He also told me that every year at winter i had attended the doctor who took blood test because i complain of the same thing in which i don’t remember prob cause the symptoms disappeared. He did blood test to test me for arthritis and xrays a mri on my back which showed 3 slipped disks and i am only 30, in the last 2 months i have developed psorisas on arms elbow and legs which i have never had in my life. The doc now says it could be psoratic arthiritis in which the tests have not showed but they said i should go back in a few months to get it checked. I am so worried and felling a bit low at the though of living my life like this can any1 give me any information. I am still in pain with my knees and back could it be somthing else.

Hi, everyone. i’m only 32 years old, but I was diagnosed with arthritis in both my knee caps 2 years ago. I was told by a specialist that my cushion is totally gone, and my knees look like the knees of 70 year old women, even though I was only 30. it is caused from a misalignment in my knee joint, which is heriditary. (my mom has it too). I typically avoid steps, as directed by my doctor, but only use biofreeze on my knees for pain, when needed. Since spring is here, I started becoming more active, and the pain is worse. I’m also going to Disney World in 2 months, and a lot of walking will be done. I’m trying NOT to pop a prescription med if possible. Thanks!!
I refused cortizone shots 2 years ago, since my mom had a lot of complications with hers.
WD-40? WTF….do we have some funny senior citizens around here?

i crack my fingers, wrists, neck, back, ankles, toes, and knees. if cracking your knuckles does cause artritis..can you get arthritis in your neck or back?

I have a desk job n it consist of a lot of typing. Lately my fingers n wrists have been hurting obviously cuz I type all day. But now my knees hurt bad 2. Can it be arthritis. I’m only 23.

hey everybody,can anyone give me some names to some over the counter medicines for arthritis that works well? my mom has a touch of arthritis in one of her knees that’s been giving her trouble and she needs a little relief before her doctors appointment .if anyone can help us out about this we would greatly appreciate it thanks a lot

I constantly have cracking in my neck, back, and knees. Over the years it has gotten worse. I do not exercise enough, and I have heard that excessive exercise cures arthritis, is this true?

hi, first of all Im 12 years old and in so many of my joints I have terrible arthritis. in my neck, my fingers, my knees, my back, etc… Should I tell my doctor at my next check up? like is this some kind of disease or something?

im 16 and i was just diagnosed with R.A about a year ago… i play shortstop and im very active with track and stuff.. but the past two days my muscles have been tight and my knees have been hurting. and just feel like they are so heavy that i cant jump or run..
any suggestions for what i can do to make it better…. i take medicine for it… and i tried stretching. but not to long after i stretch, im tight again.

It is hard to explain the sensation/pain in my knees that I am starting to feel more often. I think there are xrays or MRI’s to confirm arthritis but I am just starting to think that this might be a possibility.

Im only 31 and was told by my doctor that it was arthritis,the prob. started with just one knee & now its both. its weird because they only hurt if i go down the stairs or bend my knees in a certain way..?? what type of doctor should i see??
