I wish I didn’t have arthritis. Nobody can fathom the amount of pain I’m in and how I can’t sleep. And no, I’m not “too young”. (I'm 27)

It can suck the joy out of the things you love to do.

Wasn't upset with having arthritis until I realized how painful it is to crochet now. Stupid arthritis, I'm too young to be having these problems!

I have arthritis in my spin and ankles. I'm only 26 and I was told by a much older woman that I'm too young to have back pain. I f**king wish! Try telling that to my body...

I had to ask my mom to help me up after I squatted down in the store. This older lady said, "she's a bit young to need helped up." SMH! I hate looking lazy, thanks to arthritis. I literally couldn't get up!

So scary.

I found out today I have fairly advanced arthritis in my spine and disk disease in my spine as well. I'm 18, almost 19. I'm too young for this. My back hurts so bad

I am young, overweight and have arthritis (it's hereditary). My body hurts so much when I exercise. Yesterday I went roller skating and felt strong and free. I am so proud of myself.
