What kind of arthritis do I have?!
Question: What kind of arthritis do I have!?
I was diagnosed with arthritis one year ago!. I'd had pain in my hips since 17!. Around 21, I noticed it in both knees as well!. I finally mentioned it to my dr, and he kind of shrugged it off!. After the 3rd time mentioning it to him, he finally ordered X-rays!. He still hasn't told me what kind of arthritis it is!. My next appointment is in June (next month), and I will ask him!. Until then, I thought maybe someone could tell me what kind it is and what I should or shouldn't do to improve my quality of life!. I only have it in weight-bearing joints-- hips and knees!. I'm not overweight!. I'm about 5'6", 140 lbs!. It's much worse in the summer months!. I live in WV and it gets very humid here in the summer time!. I take MSM and glucosamine/chondroitin!. I exercise daily!. I take acetmaminaphen as needed!. It doesn't help much, but I have GERD and try not to take NSAIDs like ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen sodium!. Any opinions!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I live in WV also and know about the humidity for sure!. You said that you were diagnosed with arthritis one year ago!. Was wondering how that was found and what kind they told you!. Twenty one is very young to be having arthritis, you may have something else that mimics it, like Phlebitis!. I might be wrong, but the way to find out what kind of arthritis a person has, is by blood tests!. But until you find out, when exercising the legs or whatever, if there is an indoor pool somewhere with heated water, do your exercising in the water!. My wife done that and she says it so much easier and helpful!. I hope you don't have that awful condition, it's so debilitating, but you're young and hopefully they will make many advancements in the treatments and find cures!. But whatever it turns out to be, I wish for you young lady the very best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
