Divya Delhi: Are your knees stiff when climbing stairs? Fingers stiff after a desk day? Joking, "Looks like old age is coming early!" is easy. Joint paint in your 30s—more than simply a temporary discomfort? These symptoms in younger persons may indicate arthritis, an illness often thought to be reserved for the old. Dr. Rajni Ranjan, Associate Professor Orthopaedics, Sharda Care Healthcity, Greater Noida explains everything. Previously, arthritis was associated with parents and grandparents. Recently, early-onset arthritis has increased, particularly in late-20s and 30s. This shift is visible to healthcare providers. The biggest problem is that too many people avoid medical care because they associate arthritis with age. Delayed treatment might allow inflammation to progress, causing lasting joint injury.
