My joints hurt and there is rough skin around my elbows. Is it possible i have arthritis at 25?
I’ve been having mild pain in the joints of my wrists and hands for months now, it has slowly been getting worse. I also have dry skin on my elbows and tiny dents and pits in my fingernails (I was told this can be an early sign of arthritis). However, I’m only 25. Is this really possible?
Good possibility you have psoriasis. The joint disease associated with psoriasis is referred to as psoriatic arthritis. >>> http://www.medicinenet.com/psoriasis/article.htm
It could be arthritis. It could hit as early on your early 20’s. You should really take medicines for it before it worsens. And avoid foods that could cause it like red meat, beer and beans. Mostly beer.
