Question

has any one else had experience of this at such a young age?

Answer 1

It depends on what kind of arthritis your doctor said you have. Osteoarthritis is usually associated with age. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where your own immune system attacks your joints. Osteoarthritis is not common in such a young person. Rheumatoid arthritis can strike at any age. Management of autoimmune disorders requires a specialist called a rheumatologist. Ask for a referral to see one. If you do not prevent joint damage, you will have permanent problems requiring surgery. Deal with it properly NOW.

Answer 2

No it is completely normal! My fiancee was 21 when we found each other, he had never had a girlfriend OR kissed a girl in his life, and I had never had a boyfriend or kissed a guy either and I'm so glad he never did because then I wouldn't have chosen to be with him, I wanted someone who was equal to me so we could share something special together for the first time with each other, a relationship even our first kiss. You should never see it as a negative thing, it shows that you respect yourself and you are taking your time, you may not realise it now but other girls will appreciate it and respect it when you find the right girl. Please don't rush into a relationship, girls will appreciate you the way you are! Im bengali by the way so I understand what you are saying! Also which uni do you go to? I go to a uni in London too, I'm in my 3rd year and I know that most students go clubbing just to have sex, really, thats just pathetic and those people have no morals, it's not about having empty meaningless sex with a stranger, it's about trust and security and love.

Answer 3

I am a Psychic Healer in Liverpool(The Everton Brown Clinic) and I remove Arthritis in the course of my work.
Some problems arise due to an imbalance within or as I know it to be, within a persons spirit.
Such imbalances or interferences in the spirit bring on a physical problem as a matter of course and so I am able to remove the problem as it dosent originate in the physical body but within the person's spirit.
Arthritis is always seen in time with a person who is critical of other people etc or maybe of themselves.
This critisism is a negative energy within and will bring on a physical problem ie Arthritis..
If you see yourself as a critical person then stop being so and your Artritis will dissipate away.
If you dont think you are critical then ask other people for an honest answer as to whether you are or not and maybe you will see yourself and know yourself in a different light.
Good luck...

Its not common for someone of your age to have this condition, but it may be caused by something you are doing or have done in the past. I would suggest you go down to a hospital or ask you GP to refer you to a hospital where you can have some tests carried out and also receive some advise from a specialist in this field.

Seriously, arthritis is more common in older people but can strike anyone at any age and its not uncommon in someone of your age.

it is not unusual to have arthritis at this age, arthritis has no prejudices and can affect anyone at any age, i have nursed many children with arthritis even very young babies.
