At what age do people normally begin developing arthritis? I ask this because lately I've been getting these odd pains in my fingers and wrist on my right hand. I'm only 15 but I love to crack my bones alot such as my neck, knuckles, wrists, etc. Could I have arthritis???

No. I don't think you have arthritis.
It can be in any age.
You can confirm with RA and ESR tests.
If RA test is +ve it confirms.
If it is -ve and ESR is high it is RA of -ve type we call it.
Your problem is due to excess of dryness and coldness energy in your body. Cold atmosphere has created it worse.
Acupuncture will certainly solve your problem.
There is no medicine to treat it, pl always remember!

What is sounds like is carpel tunnel syndrome. You could have juvenile arthritis but that is more rare. Are your thumb and first two finger numb? That happens with carpel tunnel. Ask your doctor.
Spending a lot of time on computer can cause the carpel tunnel. It is due to repetitive motions.

Yes you could have JRA, but are the joints just painful or are the hot? If it is pain, chances are it is due to stress, strain, or you might have Hyper mobile joints? If they are red hot, to touch, then inflammation and you will need to see the Doc get checked out.
