For a younger person to get arthritis. If
both parents have it somewhat bad.. would
this mean the child would get it and
possibly earlier in life?

yes it is possible.
I am not sure of your age but there is
something called JRA which stands for
juvenile rhuematoid arthritis and this
affects people under the age of 16. My son
has it and he was diagnosed at 3 years
old.

HI, yes it is possible for any age to get
arthritis. There are over 200 different
types of arthritis, caused by different
reasons. Some are hereditary, genetic,
autoimmune, viral, bacterial,
degenerative, or even related to
completely different medical conditions.
Just because both of your parents have
arthritis (and it depends what kind of
arthritis) doesnt necessarily mean you
will get it, but it's possible that it can
be a risk factor.

Its not hereditary to get arthritis just
because your parents have it. Arthritis
is generally due to lifestyle and diet
factors.
It is true that some people get it while
they are young. If their parents also
have it, this can be due to the same
factors and causes of why the parents
contracted it (eg diet and lifestyle).
Nothing ever happens without a cause.
I use to have arthritis, and osteoporosis
but that was because I use to drink and
smoke in excessive amounts.
Once I gave those habits up-changed my
lifestyle and studied how the body works,
I treated myself naturally and in two
years my arthrits and osteoporosis is
totally gone.
But if you just want to make sure that you
don't get arthritis:
DO:
-Drink Plenty of Water
-Use glucosamine
-Eat lots of fruits, nuts, seeds, vegies,
and plant protein
-Cardio and Weight bearing exercises
-eliminate all fried or hydrogenated
(fried foods or products containing fried
oils) foods from your diet
-eliminate all SUGARS (malts, cane sugar,
glucose, syrups etc)
-Use COMFREY cream over the arthritic are
(grows back bone, cartilage, etc)-don't
use on plates or pins
-Get some sun exposure (20minutes per day-
b4 10am and after 3pm)
DON'T:
-Eat Sugar or foods containing it
-Eat high amounts of Meat (too high
protein)
-drink carbonated beverages
-Eat fried foods
-stay inactive
Good Health To You

You obviously didn't have Rheumatoid
arthritis if that is the case. My mom has
had it since she was a teenager. She has
never used any cigarettes, alcohol, drugs
or anything and eats fairly healthy. She
rerely even eats sweets. You might have
had something like fibromyalgia but RA is
something much more serious and
debilitating. Go online and look at
pictures of people affected with this
disease. It doesn't just go away with diet
and lifestyle changes. My mom is proof of
that because she has tried everything.
