Have I got arthritis?
Hey guys im only 14 and I think. I could have arthritis.
Okay so here’s the background information.
I’m 14 and I have double joints in my finger so they can pop out .
Now I’m worried I could have arthritis… I told my mum and she just shouted at me.
The symptoms are when I squeeze my hand into a fist I can’t seem to squeeze them at maximum power anymore . And the bottom part and joint of every finger hurts alot. When I wake up in the morning my hands wreck and I have to do a few excercises to stopvthe pain and then its fine. By fine I mean it hurts only a tiny bit but if I squeeze my hand it will hurt. I always do something I call testing if my hand is alright, by that I mean squeezing as hard as I can to see if they still function. This has lead to scars of my fingernails digging into my palm. Please help . Im in so much problems now it’s stressing me out. Is there a cure to this? Is there another explanation for this? My eyes are shortsighted and My right eye is going blind. Someone please help ![]()
-my mom docent want to help she just thinks I’m making this up
-and what do you mean impossible? In a good way that shows hope?
impossible
Going to a doctor would be the best solution. if your mom doesn’t want to help , ask other members in your family
Being double jointed doesn’t increase your chances of getting arthritis at your age. There are over 140 different types of arthritis, only some of them affect people your age.
You need to see a doctor. It’s definitely possible to have arthritis at this age, but it honestly doesn’t sound like it. Do you have any stiffness or swelling?
