Is it possible to have arthritis symptoms without having real arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends what you mea: I'm not sure what you mean by "real" arthritis. Arthritis means joint inflammation. You can have joint inflammation for many different reasons from infection, auto-immune, trauma, cancer etc. You can also have joint pain without inflammation due to many different causes.
