Health questions:Is it possible to have arthritis at age 25?!?

The joints in my hand/fingers in one hand hurt so badly. It has been about 3 months. I keep thinking/hoping that it's just due to the weather changes, but I think it really may be Arthritis. I can hardly hold my coffee in the mornings and changing the babies' diapers is such a hard task. I'm only 25. It is very sad to me because I am a pianist. Is it possible and if so, what is the treatment? Thanks.

Drink water? Bone infection? Wow. Ignore that. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto-immune disease and while drinking water is good for us it won't help your pain.

Your first move should be to see a Rheumatologist. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a young person's disease. My Father was in his teens when he was diagnosed. There are quite a few treatments for RA so you can work with your doctor to find one that works for you. It is possible for RA to go into a remission with the right treatment. Hopefully that would allow you to continue playing the piano.

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

It is possible, and even more so if you use your hands a lot such as playing the piano. Only a doctor can correctly diagnose it and prescribe a treatment for you. See one soon. If it's hindering your daily habits, you need to get it looked into.

Yes! Arthritis is not age specific. Best to consult with your doctor for a treatment plan and medication geared to your individual needs.

It is possible to have Arthritis at an early age. Based on your symptoms, I think 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.

You could very well have rheumatoid Arthritis. Go see your Dr. ASAP.

of course - that's actually 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 little, too ... you should still see your doctor for a diagnosis, etc ...

(autoimmune types of Arthritis are also a possibility but this thought should not cause Anxiety until you see your doctor and get a diagnosis)

Yes, it is possible, but unlikely. Arthritis is an infection of the bone. I believe you are suffering 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 coffee. This dehydrates you, just like tea and sodas.

I would suggest before running off to see a doctor or taking medications, try drinking the correct amount of water and see what happens. One quick test to determine 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 badly.

The right amount 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 coffee, tea, or sodas, you need to calculate the number of ounces in each of those you drink and add 1-1/2 times that amount 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, good 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 provide 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 tissue. A lot of antibiotic use can cause bacteria and viruses to embed themselves deep into the tissue 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 changing 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.

good luck

First, go get checked by your doctor. While there though, ask them about capsaicin.

Yes it is totally 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 several 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 getting it under control..Good Luck..

Yes it could be possible. I'd recommend some calcium and an anti-inflammatory like OPC-3, Rersveratrol, Omega 3 (fish oil) all three would be best. but if you cant get all 3 then Resveratrol and Omega 3 would be my highest recommendation. Then for calcium you can get something like Calcium Plus. You can get all info and the products at the site below.

My Arthritis began when I was 15. I taught an 8 year old 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.
