If you're a teenager, can you get arthritis, and how would you know?!
Question: If you're a teenager, can you get arthritis, and how would you know!?
Obviously I'm talking about myself!. I'm 17 years old, an avid PC gamer, in college, i don't exactly have the money to eat well and should probably exercise more!. I've been feeling that hot, expandy-feeling in my left wrist lately, and I heard that more young people have been getting arthritis!. How do I know how close i am to getting arthritis!? Yeah I'm a bit paranoid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could be getting carpal tunnel disease from over use of the typewriter or mouse!. Eating well doesn't have to be too expensive!. Eat fruits & veggies instead of junk food & peanut butter instead of greasy fast food!
