Early signs and symptoms of Athritis that you shouldn't ignore
Pain in a joint
Joint discomfort is common and can be constant, intermittent, or only present when the person touches the injured area.
Joint swelling and tenderness
As arthritis worsens, it can lead to swollen and painful joints, which can cause pain when pressure is applied to the joint.
Joint stiffness, especially in the morning
Rheumatoid arthritis causes stiff joints, often worsening in the morning or after inactivity, unlike osteoarthritis, which typically subsides within 30 minutes of waking up.
Grating sound or sensation
A joint with a grinding or grating sound indicates worn-out cartilage and may indicate arthritis.
Groin pain
Hip arthritis often causes pain in the groin rather than the outside of the hip.
