I am a 28yr old woman, I went to the doctor in sept, and was diagnosed with slight scoliosis and degenerative joint disease. At that time I had shrunk 1 and 1/2 inches. Since sept. I have shrunk another 1 and 1/2 inches. The doctor said that I was to young to be shrinking so fast. I was wondering if there was any other reason someone so young would be shrinking so fast. I also have pain in my knees and my ankles. Is there anything else that it could be?
