    Hey lauren
    I'm laura and I'm 16 ive just been through the exact same process and when the GP asked about my medical history and i said that my dad has arthritis even though it is different to the type i have recently (under a month) been diagnosed with. It cant just be that you have different symptons. Try writing a diary about all of your aches and pains and how severe they are then tell your GP about your concerns about arthritis.This is how i go t my GP to understand how severe the pain is. Hope you are having a good half term and i hope this helps.
    Hope you get this sorted.

    Hi Laura, thank you for the reply but sorry your having a hard time too!

    I was at the phisio today and he says my problem is not a form of arthritis but I have laxed ligaments. This along with being flat footed and my knee cap being rotated inwards is apparently what's causing the pain and the swelling but because It's been happening for so long, over two years, it's going to be hard to sort. It also causes secondary pain in my hips and back!

    I have no idea though how this causes so much swelling and my fingers and toes have also been swollen? I'm just happy that this can be corrected with time and the right treatment but it's really getting me down at the moment.

    Anyway, I hope that now you've been diagnosed they can help you with your pain and discomfort! I'm Scottish so we don't have half term just now but I hope you enjoy yours and aren't in too much pain!

    Hi Laura,

    I decided a couple a weeks ago to stop feeling sorry for myself and stop moaning and it's going really well! I didn't really have a reason and I'm feeling a lot better now.

    I hope you're as good as you can be and enjoying your half term!
