"You're too young for arthritis."
I diagnose autoimmune arthritis in people in their 20s every single week.
Rheumatoid. Psoriatic. Lupus. These diseases don't check your ID at the door.
"Too young" is exactly how we lose years to delayed diagnosis β and those years cost joints you don't get back.
Swollen joints and morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes deserve a real evaluation. Not your birthday.
