Arthritis Diagnosis
Self-Test
People may look for typical symptoms of arthritis to diagnose this condition at home. Some warning signs include warmth, redness, reduced range of motion, swelling, stiffness, or joint pain. In fact, most people often associate their joint pain with a minor injury instead of arthritis. However, when this sensation persists for more than a few days, make sure to inform a doctor. You can have a symptom diary to keep track of exact problems and how they progress. This can also provide great information for the doctor to make a precise diagnosis and suggest a proper treatment plan. [1]
