Doctor warns 'arthritis mistake' by those born before 1986 'could be cancer'

Medical professionals are warning individuals born before 1986 and those over 40 not to dismiss knee pain as mere arthritis or old sports injuries. With over 10 million people in the UK suffering from arthritis, affecting one in six citizens, doctors caution that certain symptoms often mistaken for joint inflammation could actually indicate cancer. It is essential for patients experiencing these specific pains to seek a professional cancer check to avoid a dangerous diagnostic mistake.
