What are the symptoms of Arthritus?


Question:
Hi, please can someone tell me what are the symptoms of athritus, as i have had problems with pain and swelling in my legs all my life, it has now spread to my back and feet. Its really painful.
Ive been to the doctors but he doesnt give me anything for it, he recommends Ibuprofen but i am allergic to it and other pain killers dont ease the pain. I was just woundering if this could be the symptoms of arthritus. Its a painful ache from my back down both legs, to my feet, my knees swell and my ankles are constantly swollen. Also it has gone to my toe joint and its extremely painful. Please can someone help.

Answers:
unfortunately i suffer from arthritus. i get a burning sensation plus swelling around the joints. also if you bend for example your knee you can hear like a grating noise

Other Answers:
Yes. If the pain and swelling is limited to your joints then it could be arthritis. I recommend seeing another doctor.
it could easily be arthritis . . do you wake up with pain in the morning and it gradually gets better as the day goes on? Are your joints stiff?? That's the real sign of arthritis . . you could try cutting red meat out of your diet, check to make sure you don't have gout . . . and eventually you could try to see if glucosamine works for you . . good luck!!!
stiff swolen joints and are very painful
If you have seen a doctor for this, and he has not helped you....either time to find a new doctor, or stop obsessing about what sounds like cyclical water retention. Only you know the severity of your discomfort....from the tone of your question..if I felt that way, I'd be pounding on all the doors of all the doctors I could until one of them figured out the problem.
Pain and swelling of the joints.
Ask your Gp to do a simple blood test.
