I've been having knee pain for a very long time now. I'm only 14. I've als been having finger pain for a few weeks and my pinkies are swollen. I have also been having wrist pain for weeks. Neck pain come and goes and my neck is very tender. A couple years back I went to the doctors and got some x rays and was told that I have OSD in both knees and a pinched nerve in my neck but no signs of arthritis. Since that was a while back, could I have arthritis?

From your history and complaints, i can figure out a systemica cause of the long lasting polyarthralgia. Please get your S vit D and S. homocystine levels done. OSD is a common diagnosis at this age and resolves on its own. just try not doing strenous and vigourous running and high demand activities. rest and ice packs with inflammatory will do the job for the knee. For your neck, please try not watching televsion/laptop in a bad posture for long time and try doing some static neck exercises and scapular stabilising exercises for about two weeks using a green theraband. Please consult your orthopedic in case you get your reports done. we can prescribe medications for the same. you can not have degenerative arthritis but the possibility of having Rheumatoid or other spondyloarthropathy can not be fully ruled out. Please donot over read or diagnose your own self. rheumatoid and spondyloarthropathies in your age are very rare. relax and have good food and exercise.
