Arthritis??? im only 17!!?!


Question: i have had really bad pain in my wrists for several months now, but it is getting increasingly worse over time. My wrists constantly hurt, especially when i quit moving them (like when i lay down to go to sleep). A couple months ago i noticed everytime i would move my wrists at all i could hear the bones in my wrist grinding together( i know its gross)- its really loud! I know something isnt right, and now my ankles are starting to get get sore,like how my wrists first started out. Its getting to the point that it hurts to write at school, or leven move my hand in any direction. I dont know what it is, im only 17, could i get arthritis?

THe worst part is ive told both my parents and both of them believe im overracting, even after hearing the sound my wrists make. Does anyone know what wrong with my wrists and how i could fix it. I could even use a little help on showing my parents that im not just overracting...any suggestions???

Go to a rheumatoid specialist. They can test you for different types of joint diseases of which may be afflicting you. Then if necessary place you on the appropriate medications to prevent further breakdown and total destruction of these joints. And no you may not be overreacting, I have done x-ray for 20 years and seen such diseases occur in young folks like yourself.

Carpal Tunnel sounds more possible then Arthritis but it could be either I'd have a doctor check it out.

If your wrists and ankles are swollen and feel hot it is possible that you might be developing juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. If the symptoms persist you need to see a doctor. there are dozens of websites with information on various forms of arthritis. check em all out and , if any of the symptoms match yours, print it and show mum and dad.

It sounds like Carpel Tunnel syndrome.i have had it and it is not funny at all. You need to see your doctor to be sure. I had to have surgery twice on both hands. But yes anyone can get arthritis at any age.
