Could I have arthritis at age 22?
FYI: Female, 22, not overweight, don’t exercise, and don’t have a balanced diet, Stress level is about a 7/10, about 2-4 hours of sleep a day. (don’t know if this helps answer some questions.)
My knee is always aching, my hip bone, my shoulder and when it gets really bad it’s the whole right side of my body.
the pain is so bad sometimes that i just end up in tears, it’s rare when it’s that bad but it happens.
Every day, about an hour or two after waking up i start feeling the pain until I go to sleep.
My grandmother has arthritis and she says that it sound like the pain she has when her arthritis gets really bad.
what could this be?
It started about 4 months ago.
also, i take tylenol and advil because they kind of work
any other things i could do to calm the pain down?
yes you can my doctor thought i had rheumatoid arthritis when i was 15..(it wasnt thank God) but in order to really know what it could be i suggest go to the doctor but to help the pain a bit depending on where it is you can do hot cold therapy treatment…sounds fancy i know but it isnt alls it is is taking some and putting it where it hurts the most and wait until i gets numb basically and then take a heating pad and sooth it that way
hope i helped
You definitly could. I’m not saying you do but… could. Most people think osteoarthritis when they hear arthritis but there are many kinds of arthritis. I found out I have RA (rhumatiod arthritis) at age 27. Ask your dr. about testing as there are many things it could be, lack of sleep etc., but there are also many types of arthritis that we are unsurre how they are caused. Its not just from wear and tear like most people think
Good luck, the earlier you diagnose it the better your chances of leading a normal life if you do have it.
I’m not a doctor, but when I was feeling stressful, especially in my legs, I thought I was done. Then I was told about this product call Maximum Velocity, have you heard of it? Go to this site and read what the doctors who produced this product has to say. There are so many case histories and documented cases on this website. This product combats stress and the way your body relates to stressful impulses. You know if you’re afraid of something, your automatic reflexes responds. Go to this site:

This also helped my bones and pains in my body. One thing I must say, you should eat a healthy diet. Your body is telling you that. You should also stop taking the advil and tylenol look at the side effects!!

Arthritis has no regard to age,race or life style. I was a very active nurse who enjoyed playing sports with the boys or volleyball with the girls until one day when I could hardly pick my feet up to walk. I was diagnosed with Lupus at age 40 also. Hang in there. Some days are going to be rough but you got to be tough and keep fighting.
