WARNING SIGNS OF ARTHRITIS: Chances are you or someone you know has arthritis. It affects one in every seven Americans of all ages, including children. It is more prevalent among older people who have years of wear and tear on their joints. The warning signs include pain, stiffness and occasional swelling of joints.
WHAT TO DO: If you have any pain in and around joints for more than two weeks, see your doctor, the Arthritis Foundation recommends. Tell your doctor where it hurts, when it hurts, when it first began to hurt, how long it has hurt, if you have any swelling, what daily tasks are hard to do now, if you ever injured the joint in an accident or overused it on the job or in a hobby.
