Today, I went to the osteopath because I've been having knee pain. The verdict: I have arthritis. Last month, my hairdresser told me I was already starting to have white hairs too. I'm celebrating my 16th birthday in two months. FML

ouch, Arthritis at a young age sucks. I found it helps to exercise softly but regular like swimming to stop the joints from aching, massages and having a hot water bottle on the joints, especially in winter helps my mum. White hair is easier to dye for unicorn hair so that is not that bad. That and you can cosplay as so many characters easier! Advanced happy birthday to you too!

Hey OP, my sister had a similar situation. She ended up going to a physical therapist who said there her tendons were too loose or tight (sorry - bad memory) and she had to do some stretches multiple times a day to help. Worked like magic for her!

I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (a degenerative joint disease similar to arthritis) when I was 28. It's hard but with the right medication, exercise and knowledge about the disease, you can truly live a normal life. You just need to learn to take it easy/ rest when your body tells you to and not let the disease dictate your life. Good luck! xxx

Your 16 and have a hairdresser? That's sad.

Do you get your hair cut? Then you have a hairdresser, much like the majority of people. Not everyone wants to walk around looking like they were mauled by a pair of clippers.

Anyone at any age can have arthritis

You deserved it... because osteopathy, like chiropractic, homeopathy and naturopathy are scams. They're not legitimate scientifically proven medicine, they're scams. Go and see an actual medically qualified actual doctor, you'll more than likely find that you're gonna be ok.

I have arthritis and had it since birth. Also my hair is naturally silver.
