Rheumatologist Questions Arthritis

I am having stiffness in my muscles in the morning. Could it be a sign of arthritis?

I have a strange stiffness all over my body muscles particularly in the early morning hours right when I get out of bed. I feel like I can't fully extend when I wake up, if that makes sense. Could it be a sign of arthritis? My mom has it, but I'm only 42.

You do not have arthritis because you do not describe problems with joints. You.may have a muscle problem. For example, patients on statins may gat muscle pain and stiffness. Will need to check with doctor if Ck level is elevated More info thespinecommunity.com. Dr B
