Q: 19 And Arthritis In Jaw And Hips?

Hi all,

im 19 and have just been diagnosed with oesteoathritis in my jaw!! Tempromandibular joints and my hips. Its increadibly painful to eat and ive been to about 4 doctors with the same diagnosis and none of them can say why its happened or do anything about it. Im not an athlete and since it is a degenerative thing and linked with age and I do nothing in particular that places stress on these particular joints, does anyone know of other younger people with this?

Hey well I actually did gymanstics from about 6 up till I was about 12 trained 4 days a week. Ive been speaking to other girls who did gym and they have the same sort of problems now. Probably why my hips are bad, not sure about my jaw. Smile
