A member asked:
If you have inflammation in your joints, does that mean that you absolutely have arthritis? and do constantly popping joints mean arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: By definition, arthritis means inflammation in the joints with features of pain swelling heat and redness. Popping joints do not necessarily mean arthritis
