Answer 1

OK there is Lott's of arthritis I have the worst one called Rheumatoid arthritis and this affected me when I was a child I live in pain every day and I'm only 28. You need to go on the web site arthritis association READ, READ and READ on it all and then you also need to ask your doc every time he or she diagnosed you. OK

Answer 2

I have arthritis and, the worst is whatever bothers you the most, not just Ruhmatoid-arthuritis. I have osteo-arthuritis in the severe degenerative stages, there is no more hope for me, it's like a cancer, eating the bone away slowly.
It started with my back, the sharp pains, the dics started to degenerate, falling apart faster then the surgeons could repair them, it was almost crazy the way they were crumbling, the pain, the drugs.
My two sisters and one cousin did the same thing about the same age. It was caused by hereditory genes we were told, all had the same problems and, we compared the problems as we went.

To date, I've had twelve surgeries in five years, the bones simply sloughing off the protective covering and then crumbling and the area around them becoming infected and very painful.

I have 32 pieces of wire and 32 screws in my spine, three seperate places were rebuilt, one twice. The spinal cord was nicked by bone twice and had to be patched. I have one plate in one hand and need another one in the right hand, I've had one shoulder scraped and it's bad again.

My younger sister had two knees replaced and one shoulder, she has real bad hands. One cousin followes my sister.
Another younger sister is the same as me, we all started at 45 years old.

If your in pain, sometimes ice packs help. Put several fruit jars with water, not to the top, and freeze it, then use them as necessary. I wouldn't use Aleve, a friend went into Kidney shut down from Aleve, to much of it. I've used Ibuprofen and now am on drug control, Vicodin. Don't let people tell you how bad drugs are, unless they've gone through the pain this brings, that's why I'm up at 1:30A.M. and, probably won't sleep tonight.
You see to live a normal life, you pay for it in other ways. I can't do anything anymore after being active all my life.

Arthuritis has been described as the body starting to shut down for old age, a control that gets out of hand to early. ?
