Arthritis: Doctors warn Nigerians against ignoring joint pain

For many Nigerians, arthritis is a condition associated with old age, often dismissed as something that comes with getting older. But when joint pain, stiffness or swelling begins to affect a younger person, the possibility of arthritis may not immediately come to mind.Some people may continue with their daily activities, take painkillers, try herbal mixtures or seek other remedies, hoping the discomfort will eventually disappear.
