Arthritis??!


Question: Ok so heres my question. I'm 14 and I've sprained my wrist two times once in May and another time in October. And I now have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I was wondering if I know have arthritis because I can't really grip things as tightly as I used to and numerous other things I used to do with my hands...

AT 14 VERY UNLIKELY THANKFULY

certainly not, it's only carpal tunnel. You will be ok after your hand is fixed.

thats carpal tunnel. my mom has it too. Nothing to worry about

It's probably the CTS but because you have sprained your wrist a couple of times...it could just be weak. I would get physical therapy. Since you are so young, you should bounce back faster...but give it some time and let your wrist heal.

It is very possible. When you injure an area around a joint. Arthritis can set it. Have a doctor check it out so it can be treated the right way.

this will sound weird but I had artritis in my knees, bad and I found out about Emu oil and now have no pain at all.Check out on Ebay , Talyala emu oil,it comes from Australia,were I am ,and it does work,I also had a wrist injury and it fixed it,unreal.Read some of the stories on the talyala page.Goodluck.

Very unlikely.

First of all, understand what arthritis means. There is the good old fashioned OA or osteoarthritis. This is the common type that older people get. THIS YOU DON'T HAVE.

Then there is JRA or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (there are other names). This would be the next common form of arthritis for your age group. To have this you would/may have swelling of your joints, redness, morning stiffness for more then one hour, difficulty making a fist among others. THIS SEEMS UNLIKELY AS WELL.

All other types of arthritis are probably not relevant to you.

You likely have some tendonitis of your wrist or it is your CTS. YOU WILL RECOVER.
