After having chronic pain for numerous years, I finally found a doctor who believed that a healthy 20-something could have chronic pain. Two MRIs later, arthritis was found in my spine (C3-C5, L3-L5). Since then, I’ve been put on pain medication and undergone radio frequency ablations.
I’ve never met anyone else with arthritis in their spine. If you’re out there, please chime in!
Congratulations on finally getting a diagnosis
It was such a relief to know it was all “real.” I must have been one of the happiest people to be told they had arthritis
