Swellings

[donnabrain]

I frequently get swellings on the inner side of both elbows'

could this be arthritis?

It could be. Take photos and go see gp . They will examine you. Maybe do blood tests and give you some advice.

The main signs of rheumatoid arthritis are stiffness of the joints, swelling and pain . Often the joints feel hot.

There are lots of different types of arthritis and joint problems tho so best getting checked up x

That is where my swelling & elbw pain is too. I told this to my rheumy and he said that is the begining of OA. RA effects the outside part of the elbow. OA effects the innerside of the elbows.
