Arthritis: Early Signs Beyond Joint Pain

Arthritis occurs when the cartilage in your joints wears down or becomes inflamed.

This can make it difficult to move.

Early signs might include trouble bending your knees or closing your fist, feeling tired, or having shortness of breath.

Sometimes, you might also experience dry eyes.

High fever can also be a sign.

It's important to see a doctor if you notice these signs.
