m not all too familiar with arthritis, but if I were in your shoes, especially with a family history of arthritis, I would focus on the right
diet and supplements to help
joint health. Vitamin D is really key, too, for bone and joint health. Most are deficient and doctors here in Canada are recommending everyone take 1000 IU supplement a day. Best of luck and these days, I think a lot of doctors aren't generally into preventative medicine.
