Question
Can a person who is 24 have arthritis?

Answer
Dear Michelle,   YES, even children can have Rheumatoid Arthritis.....  In order to find out if you have Rheumatoid Arthritis, you need to have a blood test done which is called RF (rheumatoid factor)....  If you have a POSITIVE RF blood test result, then it is very possible that you have Rheumatoid Arthritis....   RA is an autoimmune disease that can strike anyone at any age.....

Thank you,   karen
