joint pain

by sammieanz, May 22, 2008 10:57AM
I've been having pain in my fingers, knees, hips and ankles for about a year, maybe a bit longer. I'm 28 years old and live a pretty active life. I've looked up joint pain on the internet and all I find is arthritis, but I really don't think that's what I have. Any help?

It may be arthritis even young as you are.  You should get to a doctor for evaluation.  Depending on the type of arthritis it is, early detection and treatment can make a huge difference down the line.

I agree with txsilver, definately get to a Dr and get it checked out.  There are over 100 types of arthritis.  Do your joints become swollen or hot?  Try taking some ibuprofen, it should help with inflammation.  Please keep us posted.
