Answers:
YES! I am 26, but have had arthritis for more than 10 years now!. Tell your parents about your symptoms and then make an appointment with your family doctor!. From there, he or she can refer you to someone that will be able to help you!. It's better to start treatment now, no matter how minimal it is, then wait and let it get worse!. Good luck talking with your parents!. Chances are they believe you may be having "growing pains"!. Let them know it's serious and you just want to see a doctor to be sure you are alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can get arthritis at a young age, it is called Juvenile Arthritis!. You can also get Rheumatoid Arthritis which is a degenerative form of Arthritis!. I would suggest that you let your parents know that you are concerned and that you would like to see the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
