Do I have arthritis? |
I'm 19 and for a long time I was a couch potatoe and did next to nothing. Last summer I got real active. I got into mountain biking and biked for awhile until cold weather hit. Well I just got a new bike and my knees burn when I hit an uphill or pedal hard for about 30 seconds. It's not my bike seat, it's adjusted so my legs are fully streched on the down stroke. Is it arthritis? Is it something else? i don麓t think is arthritis since you don麓t mention any other symptom, it it probably just lack of exercise during the winter time, try to start with something less complicated like biking in the park for a couple of days until your body adapts to the exercise again, if this problem continues after this go to the orthopedist so he can chek was is going on with you, good luck Source(s): i am a doctor Maybe not, because your going uphill and that burns a lot of leg energy. Hmmm good question...a doctor would be the best person to ask. I don't know. Go to a REAL doctor, immediately! It might be what runners call shin splints? No one on here can answer this. The only way you will know for sure if you have arthritis at such a young age is to go to your doctor and have x-rays and blood work done. There are specific blood test to determine what type of arthritis you have. It is a possibility but probably not. However, better to be safe than sorry. And exercise is the best thing for you whether you do or don't. So make and appointment and find out and then keep up the good work on exercising. |
