The weather will affect arthritis. I hear it hits in the 30’s but I’m sure it’s different for different people. It hurts and aches. I wish they could find a cure for it.

It can start at any age. I’ve had it since birth as a side effect of a bone condition. It can be really painful and hard to move at times, depending on where you have it it varies. It’s most common in fingers and the symptoms are not being able to bend them and pain in the joints. Weather can effect it in some cases, I find the cold makes it worse for me personally.

I know that there are different types of arthritis. Although arthiritis usually occurs in adults and develops later in life, children can also be diagnosed with it.
The symptoms are:
1. Pain or stiffness in your joints for more 3 or more days a week for the last month.
2. Swelling in your joints for 3 or more days a week for the last month.
3. Stiffness in your joints especially after not moving for an extended period of time (i.e. the morning)
4. Pain or discomfort in a joint that has a history of injury.
Hope this helps

Arthritis can happen at any age, some types are even hereditary. I would get checked right away because there is no cure, only treatments. he longer you wait the more your joints and ligaments can get damaged. And yes the temperature can effect it, making you feel more pain when it’s colder. Good luck!
