Should i see a doctor as soon as i start suffering / experienced arthritis pain?

YES: Pain in the joints can be effectively treated and specific strategies exist for limiting joint damage. Doctors have many treatments that can help and they can also advise you on lifestyle changes (like exercise and weight loss) that can help. Finally, other diseases can cause joint pain and a doctor can identify these and treat them. Arthritis is not inevitable, it can be effectively managed.
