How many years has it been for you? | Arthritis Information

I went to the dr. this week for my arthritis in my knees. I was in so much pain I was crying. My vicodin was doing nothing to help. I was given a injection for the pain, and a cortozone shot. My dr. (New dr. don't you love HMO's?) asked how long has it been since I had ostoartritis in my knees? I told him I was diagnosed at 17 years old. I have been in pain ever since.

How long has it been since you were first diagnosed with osteoarthritis?

Hi Jeanne,

Wow, you had your knees worn out at 17 years of age?

If I were you I would research an infectious etology to your problem.

If you have more questions, please ask.
