Is it caused by a disease?

I was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my back. It is very painful, but we deploy in a few months, and I’m wondering if when I go in for my first physical therapy session, will the doctor attempt to force a medical discharge. I have had several friends who have been discharged for their backs, and they weren’t as bad.

Hi everyone, I am not sure what is causing my knee pain but my symptoms are similar to arthritis. I have been very physically active my whole life, but I am only 20 years old…isn’t that too young to develop osteo arthritis? I am wondering if it is a possible explaination for the pain I have been having in my left knee (my right knee gives me no issues at all) I am very depressed, as I cannot be active the way I used to be. I have been to an orthropedic doctor and he believes I have bursitis. I did not have an MRI but he said if the pain does not subside in a month or two of physical therapy that he is going to order me an MRI. My question is, would ostero arthritis show up on an MRI?

I am only 31 and am concerned about arthritis since my Grandma had it and now my mom does in her knees. What can I do to help prevent myself from getting it? Will walking daily help?

But i cant find studies, can you help out. Basically i need to know the general frequency, intensity, practicality, and safety issues of aquatic therapy
