Could Pain In Joints, Knee, Hand With Swollen Knuckles Be Related To Arthritis?
I've been having issues with my joints, knee pain with bending and weight bearing activities, acheles tendon pain, hand pain and my knuckles are extremely swollen as if there is extra bone there. The odd thing is I'm only 21 years old. I'm taking lamictal, I don't work out more than a couple times a week. How likely is it that these symptoms are side effects or are part of arthritis? Is there other common causes for this?
