-- swollen joints (knuckles, ankles, etc) with some pain (but no redness or warmth like a fever)
-- morning stiffness here and there
-- some pain when I overexert myself (slightly different from typical muscle pain. I am very accustomed to the muscle pain that comes from a hard workout; this is more centered in the joints, as an ache or soreness.)
Are there things I can do to reduce the swelling and stiffness?
How do you know the difference between just being a little overweight (which I am) or the actual swelling and stiffness from arthritis or inflammation?
