It can be scary going to the doctor, but you can be in and out quicker if you are able to give your doctor accurate descriptions of you problem. Be sure to tell him or her when the problem started and if there are any times the pains seems worse. Also knowing these common arthritis symptoms will make you realize when to make a doctors appointment or not. Generally, the earlier your doctor knows about your arthritis symptoms, the earlier you can be accurately diagnosed and get effective treatment.
Joint pain is the biggie of arthritis symptoms. Arthritis is an umbrella term for over one hundred types of inflammations of the joints. Joints, in this case, do not refer to any herbal smokes, but to the natural hinges of your body. Joints and therefore, joint pain, are in your wrists, ankles, hips, neck, fingers, knees and shoulders. This is usually a pain youve never had before while performing tasks that you never before had any problems doing, such as opening a bottle or turning the pages of a book or walking up a flight of stairs.
Joint stiffness is another of the major arthritis symptoms to look out for. Limbs and joints that previously not hurt while moving not only hurt, they refuse to move. This can be varied such as a hand refusing to uncurl from a fist position you made as you slept to not being able to move a leg. You move (or cant move) more like the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz before he gets his dose from the oil can. This can get better throughout the day, and often gets worse in the cold.
Physical joint changes are other common arthritis symptoms, although they don't happen to everybody with the beginnings of arthritis. The painful places of your body become visibly distended, more red or stained and really tender, frequently to the point at which the single thing they may endure touching them is air.
In order to diagnose you and get you the help you want as fast as practicable, your doctor will also have to know your medical history and the medical histories of your sisters and brothers, if at all possible. If they are ready to chat about the topic, ask and write down what your parents or sibling remember about when their arthritis started and what sort of arthritis it was diagnosed as.
