Hi. I am 17 years old and have been recently diagnosed with rheumatory arthritis. I just spent a whole week in the hospital because of the severe pain I was having in my lower back. I was having severe pain in my legs with tingling. It got so bad I couldn't walk. I have been dealing witn this for over 2 years and finally my mom just took my to the ER. Doctors have always been looking t my discs, but now they diagnose me with RA. It just so upseting because I will have to del with this for the rest of my life and the pain is just unbearable. I would have never thought arthritis would be this painful. Can anyone relate to me and have any advice? Thanks :)
