Arthritis: You appear to have an arthritis problem, and at your young age I feel it's important to be evaluated by a rheumatologist to determine what type of arthritis you have. Appropriate tests will be done in order to ensure that proper treatment and follow-up will be given.

Be seen: I would not hesitate to be seen for an accurate diagnosis. The idea that it is occurring at more than one joint suggests something more systemic. Among the more common causes include gout, pseudo gout, reactive arthritis, or one of a number of inflammatory arthritic conditions. Blood work and possibly a joint aspiration will usually reveal the cause and then treatment can begun.
