Is it worse in the mornings and get better with movement? That’s usually a sign it could be rheumatoid. Try not to worry too much, even if it turns out to be rheumatoid, there are many medications now that mean you can live a pretty normal life with the condition.

I'm 35 and was diagnosed with arthritis 7 years ago. I'm on medication and although I do have struggles, it is under control. Your gp will send you for some bloods to check your inflammation levels. I also find tumeric capsules help. You can get them from amazon x

What else do they do to diagnose, I'm so scared because was told it can spread quickly I'm only 34

@Kristina is it in your hands. Mines is fingers. Thumb hurts and index finger and my other finger hurts on my other hand

@Kimberley I was told a few months ago my inflammation levels are fine, is there a difference blood test they use

I have booked in for a blood tests. Is there any blood tests in particular I can require and special ones they are doing the standard blood tests

@Life is Love they may also look at your ANA levels too. I also had ultrasounds to determine if mine was RA. I was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgyia (but don't think I do have it tbh) xx
