Is it possible to be “too young” for arthritis?

Not asking for medical advice, just curious if this is even true. I’ve been suffering from the symptoms for most of my life and it has only gotten worse the past few years. I have lately been dealing with carpal tunnel in both wrists and sometimes my foot will seem limp. I ache even worse during rain and thunderstorms. Often doing something as simple as spreading avocado on toast can be almost impossible, like I have no grip. I am almost 32 and they are running blood tests (some results show it could be) as well as plans for a brain scan and nerve tests. It’s driving me crazy, but I hope my mystery ailment gets figured out. But whenever I mention to others that I think it could be arthritis I get “Aren’t you a little young for that?” Curious to know others experience/if anyone has been diagnosed at a “young” age. Thanks 🙏🏻
