Sucks man - I'm with you on the arthritis. What kind?

Regular I guess? It's not rheumatoid.

Thought they may have given you more detail, that's all. Makes a difference going forward with treatment, how quickly it will get worse, etc.

My hips didn't develop properly and I walk with my feet pointed out. The doc did say that's the likely reason but didn't give it a name.

edit: Family doc has a theory, put me on a test run of prednisone for PMR.

edit 2: It has gotten better with physio and medications over the past few weeks. Although I cannot take more tylenol/t3s

Just got diagnosed with arthritis in both hips at 33. Also found out previouly I have high liver values from abusing t3s, low testosterone and a few other things. Life is good.

Should be taking ibuprofen (ie Advil) for arthritis anyways. I eat those like candy for mine. I was diagnosed at 28, so I feel ya.

Doc wants me to try weight loss and diet first.

I'm taking Diclofenac which is an NSAID like Ibuprofen and cannot be conbimed with other NSAIDs. It's pretty powerful, better than anything you can get OTC such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen (Aleve) etc..
