My arthritis started after I had 3 kids when I was in my late 20's. The doctor I went to see was cranky and not very nice. He told me I was to young to have it and he bent my joints around and put me in a lot of pain. I hurt so bad after he did it and could hardly walk out of the clinic. I went to another doctor who was much nicer and he told me I had osteoarthritis and he told me to sue that other doctor for what he did. I did sue and won and got a settlement. I found that if I eat right and take liquid vitamens I don't hurt as bad. I do walking and biking to keep the joints moving and it really helps.
