Medical experts warn of arthritis rise in young patients

Commenting on this new rising phenomenon in young people these days, Dr. Raju Vaishya, an orthopedic surgeon at the Apollo Hospital, Delhi, said, “Age is not a factor in arthritis. It can affect the young and old alike. Rheumatoid arthritis affects young women after child birth or due to injury-stress."

He added, people such as dancers, sports persons and others who engage in physical activity are also at risk due to various injuries like swollen muscles, sprains, knee injuries or fractures they suffer over the course of time.
