Arthritis Forum - Osteoarthritis of Lower Back, Knees, And Hip.

Hi all,

im 21 years old and 2 years ago I developed osteoarthritis which came up on a mri scan I had, about 6 months ago I seen an orthopedic and he done some xrays on me and told me that there was nothing wrong, but I know xrays dont show anything for me, mri does, hes trying to tell me its acute back pain, well cmon sometimes I cry with the pain I cant move, my back locks,

im seeing him again in 2 days time, can anyone advise me on what to say to him to get him to belive I really am serious and in alot of pain.

I am also having left hip and top of my left upper butt cheek pain. I also was diagnost with osteoarthritis. The pain is so bad I have a hard time walking sometimes. Do you think the pain in my left upper butt cheek could be something more serious?
