I was just recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my thumb joints on both hands. Without my hands I am useless and living in a van down by the river. . . until I can’t take it anymore. Anyone have any experience with this that could lend some advise as to what’s to come and what works or doesn’t work? I am 32 and have been told by the dr that my joints look like a 55 year old.

At first it was only my left knee, then after a couple of weeks that knee felt better and now a couple of months later my right knee is even more painful. Same symptoms. sweeling, fluid in knee i think. So I’m assuming if I have arthritis it’s in both knees. Tomorrow I will call and schedule an appointment for x-rays probably. Anyone have arthritis in the knee? what’s it like for you? what type do you have?

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks
