Arthritis comes in many different forms. It is always best to understand exactly what is going on if you are suffering from joint pain. Some forms of Arthritis can be particularly destructive if ignored and left untreated for too long. To the point of entirely destroying the joint. Personally I toughed it out wit a bad elbow for years before deciding to do something about it. In the end the pain got so bad from it that I found myself unable to use it and had to have the joint totally replaced. So my advice with this sort of thing is get it looked after before you wreck something. There are a lot of treatments available that can stop major damage from happening.
