A member asked:

How do you know if you have arthritis in your hand at 27?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's uncommon, but..: If you've had a significant injury including a fracture - especially one that extends into the joint, say of the thumb or the bones in the wrist - there might be the beginning of arthritis development. An xray could help show if there's any arthritis there. Best of luck!
