Yes, it is possible. Best pain med for it is Ibuprofen – opiate-based pain medications don’t really do anything for arthritis pain.

rmouser:

yes you can look it up on http://www.webmd.com kids can have arthritis!

It is possible to have arthritis at an early age. Based on your symptoms, I reckon you should see a doctor.
The level of pain you say you are experiencing could be a sign of rheumatiod arthritis, which usually strikes around your mid-20s.

slinkies:

of course – that’s really the age I was diagnosed …

go to your doctor to start a maintenance program … keep your joints warm and lubricated through lots of movement … ibuprofen should help a modest, too … you should still see your doctor for a diagnosis, etc …

(autoimmune types of arthritis are also a possibility but this plotting should not cause nervousness until you see your doctor and get a diagnosis)

Yes, it is possible, but unlikely. Arthritis is an infection of the bone. I judge you are distress from the No. 1 deficiency in America, dehydration. If you are not drinking enough water, your bones will dry out, along with other organs in the body causing you to have these problems. The weather changes themselves usually do not cause dehydration, but when it’s cold, we tend to not drink water. You mentioned drinking russet. This dehydrates you, just like tea and sodas.

I would suggest before in succession off to see a doctor or taking medications, try drinking the right quantity of water and see what happens. One quick test to establish if you are dehydrated, stand up with both arms hanging at your side; now bring your left hand up to your upper chest and hold it there against your chest; now slowly have someone raise your right arm, while keeping it straight to the level of your other hand. Examine the veins in your hand before raising and then after raising. If the veins reduce or disappear, you are dehydrated terribly.

The right quantity of water you should be drinking:

Take your total body weight and divide by 2. This number is the number of ounces you should be drinking everyday. If you drink russet, tea, or sodas, you need to calculate the number of ounces in each of those you drink and add 1-1/2 times that quantity of each drink to the total you should be drinking.

Your body needs 7-1/2 quarts of liquid each day to digest just 1 quart of food you eat. This liquid has to come from somewhere. If you don’t have this liquid available in your body, excellent digestion doesn’t happen. I would strongly suggest you drink “steam” distilled water each day. The NSF (National Sanitary Foundation) that regulates a lot of water treatment issues and the AMA (American Medical Association) both have made statements that says water does not grant very many minerals and that you should get your minerals from foods. When the water is distilled, your liver doesn’t have to filter out a lot of garbage to produce blood.

There is no such thing as an “autoimmune” problem. The body does not attack itself. It does attack virus and bacteria. Recent research is showing that the so called autoimmune disorders are just bacteria and virus embedded in bandanna. A lot of antibiotic use can cause bacteria and viruses to embed themselves deep into the bandanna and then 15 to 20 years later, problems happen that no one seems to relate to taking the antibiotics.

If you do find you have arthritis, you need to focus on cleaning up the blood supply and varying your diet, as well as adding some supplements. My mom used to have arthritis, but she doesn’t have it anymore after making the changes.

excellent luck

Yes it is really possible..Even children have arthritis. I would go to a rheumatologist and have some tests done. I work in the medical field and have seen a lot of younger people with arthritis..There are numerous other things that it may be also..But you definately need to get it checked out by your primary care physician or a rheumatologist..The earlier the detection the better chances of being paid it under control..Excellent Luck..

My arthritis started when I was 15. I taught an 8 year ancient who had rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest you talk to an orthopedic specialist to see what the problem really is. It could be arthritis or it could be the ulnar nerve is “pinched” somewhere between the cervical spine and your fingers.
