Ha! I had this too.
The joint juice has sulfides in it. If your are allergic to sulfides, you will get joint swelling, and joint pain.
Sulfides appear in the following:
red wine
dried apricots
red food dyes and cough syrups
We discovered my sulfide allergy after I got a prescription of MOBIC, a big gun anti-inflammatory. The pain was amazing, because it has sulfur compounds in it. Sulfur also appears in
the OTC Alleve.
Special note: You can develop a sulfur allergy, esp it you have been treated several times for UIT's

Premature Arthritis? My first symptom of Rheumatoid Arthritis was at 21 and not premature. I am now 49. Suggest you see a Doc ask for the blood test to rule in or rule out Rheumatoid Arthritis, blood test is called Rheumatoid Factor, also ask for a FBC, Full Blood Count. If anything is going wrong, then it will show in these blood tests. The earlier you are diagnosed the better you will be in the long-run, therefore what are you waiting for. Joint Juice will not help Rheumatoid Arthritis. Good Luck

You have what could be construed as an early arthritis or Rheumatism attack. This is unfortunate because so many young individuals are getting it More and more.
I would see a good neurologist to see what damage has already done, then he/she can send you to a orthopedic surgeon if necessary. Take it from there.
Stop the smoking, start eating properly. Take more time to relax and follow the regimen they give you.

Ask your primary physician for a referral to a Rheumatologist and request that all your records get faxed over to his/her office before your appointment. A Rheumatologist will know what tests to run and the appropriate treatment for you. It sounds like you have rheumatoid arthritis. Good luck.
