The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons estimates that one out of every five people in the United States has at least one joint with signs or symptoms of arthritis. Half of these arthritis sufferers are under age 50. Is arthritis causing you to live in pain? The word arthritis comes from the Greek words arthro, meaning joint, and itis, meaning inflammation-thus, arthritis literally means inflammation of a joint.

If you have any of these symptoms-especially if you routinely perform repetitive hand motions such as typing, cutting hair or assembly line work-you could be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. The numbness in your wrists and hands could be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome-but it could also be due to other conditions such as wrist arthritis or De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
