I am 18 years old.I have pains in the finger joints of both my hands and feet.Are they signs of Arthritis??

Answer 1

Just based on that information it certainly sounds like it. However, There re lots of variables, have you had other symptoms, how long has this been going on, has it been getting worse, has it just been the fingers etc? I'm not a doc but i do know that no diseases or condition is characterized by just one symptom, if it is bothering you see a doctor.

Answer 2

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.

If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.

Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.

And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.

I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.

It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.

Today, I want to do the same for you!

Answer 3

Rheumatoid Arthritis signs and symptoms include:


Joint pain which evolves with aching and stiffness gradually.

A few weeks later,joint swelling, redness and warmth follow.

Generally,wrists,hands,elbows, shoulders,ankles,feet and knees are involved .

Usually,signs are on both sides of the body, but inflammation of a single joint may be the initial presentation.

In the morning,symptoms are worst and diminish with activities of the day

Around the elbow,small firm lumps (rheumatoid nodules) may appear.

Fatigue in the early afternoon

Difficulty in sleeping.

Notice the importance of "evolution" about arthritis signs. If you want more information, visit:http://www.vitamin-supplement-reference.com/rhuematoid-arthritis.html

Anyway, it's a good idea to see a doctor.

Answer 4

It could be.I've been having problems since I was in my early teens.Now that I'm 31,my fingers and ankles have started hurting,as well as my wrists and knees.It started with my knees when I was 13,and has just spread.It's not awful and I have no problems dealing with it(except for when my knees give out and I almost fall,but at least that provides a laugh for someone!)because it has been such a slow progress,but I know it's getting worse in my fingers because I have a hard time typing or doing needlework,some days.All I can recommend is just taking an anti-inflammatory medicine and carefully exercising the joints.

Answer 5

First of all you, are there any other symptoms that you are experiencing? Fever,body aches,lethargy? These may indicate an infection (viral/bacterial in nature) that may also have joint pain as one of the symptoms. Do you have a rash or any swelling or water retention ? Other than that, how long have you had the pains for and in which joints specifically? The answers to all these questions should give you a better idea as to what exactly the problem is.

Answer 6

Yes - anyone can have arthritis at any age. Even children - some so bad they are in wheel chairs. You need to see your doctor to confirm. My daughter has artritis so bad sometimes she cannot even work. She is 44 now, but has had it since she was only 20 years old. Most of the time she is o.k., but when it acts up, she has a terrible time. So see your doctor and good luck to you.

Answer 7

Joint pain or stiffness of the joint may be caused by overexertion, injuries, arthritis, muscle pain,bursitis and other diseases. Depending on the cause of the joint pain, joints on both sides of the body and small or large joints may be affected. Some types of joint pains can be completely cured but for other types of joint pain (like pain caused by osteoarthritis), treatment will only reduce the pain.

Answer 8

It could be the signs of arthritis or something like carpal but it depends on what you do, for a living, or?

A doctor can give you a blood test and then some simple meds for relief or Ibuprofen, something like that.

Answer 9

In addition to the other answers, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) resulting from high insulin, also can cause pains in joints.

Check out www.hufa.org for more info. There is info on pain management and carpal tunnel at that site too - through the symptoms link.

Answer 10

it depends. do you recently have an activity that required you to exert effort using your hands and fingers? it may be just a sign of stress.

if not, its better to have your uric acid measured by way of a bloodtest. it may be a sign of arthritis.
