Hi Dana, I would make an appointment to get checked out by a specialist - a rheumatologist. Sounds like you have some symptoms of arthritis, but you won't know until a doctor sees you. He/she will ask about your swelling and stiffness (how long it lasts, is it symetrical) and will also probably do a blood test. If it is arthritis, it is best to start treatment right away so that you don't lose any mobility and / or don't experience any joint damage. Don't mean to scare you, but it's always a good idea to get perstistent symptoms checked out by a doc so that you can get a hold of the problem and treat it as soon as possible. Be well, Sheryl
i wanted to see if you ever found out anything. i am a 23 year old female and have the same symptoms as you, im just not sure if i could have arthritis at my age.
My feet swell also at times...right now my right foot is swollen and it hurts on the inside bone on my ankle when I move it. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
