Arthritis at a young age/looking for friends with same situation

Phillygirl93

Hey guys, I’ve had arthritis since I was 23. I’m now 31. It’s changed my life. I really wanna be able to talk to/make friends with people my age who understand what I’m going through.

Hi @lorenesposito93,

23 years old here, diagnosed at 20 with lumbar and cervical OA. Joined this forum for the exact same reason!
