You probably know someone with arthritis. Arthritis—which means joint inflammation—affects 43 million people, about one in every six Americans. You might be surprised to know that arthritis doesn't affect only older people; more than half of people with arthritis are under age 65.

The three major symptoms of arthritis are joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. Do these symptoms sound familiar? Do you think you might have arthritis? Your doctor can help you sort out the possibilities and make choices regarding your next step. Early intervention can help you receive the right diagnosis and begin treatment so you can start getting relief from arthritis symptoms sooner.

Remember, only your doctor can properly assess your symptoms and give you an accurate diagnosis. And only your doctor can recommend a course of treatment that's best suited to your condition and your needs. If you have joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness that consistently bothers you, see your doctor.
