Hello

Hello, I've just joined and wanted to let you know a little bit about my story. After doing a half marathon in 2022 I had felt a stiffness in my knee. I originally thought that it was an injury or the fact that I'd been stuck on a train for like 5 hours the day after so couldn't really stretch it out properly, but the fact it was still ongoing got me thinking something else. After an xray, an MRI and a 2nd xray I was finally told it was arthritis (after the 1st doctor to see me said I was too young to have it when I suggested it to them, and being told everything looked "normal" until a different doctor said to me I don't know why they said that when I have bone defragmentation). I feel like I've tried everything to help ease it but sometimes I feel like it does nothing. This obviously has led to so many emotions and I'm now glad to have found a safe space where I can share my feelings with people that feel the same and know exactly what I'm going through.
