Satryo Tjitrosoedarso That's apart of what society does and honestly I got laughed at by the other students and mistreated by my teacher. It's all apart of the frightening concept called our future. But in real life people don't laugh at someone for having Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Do they????? I guess they do and because of everything the teacher encouraged she got fired. Well let me say this everyone has just come back from Christmas break and I just came back to school after spending 3 months in the hospital because of my shunts. Let me give a little advice kids are very nice one minute but 3 months later........... They've all got hearts of stone. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I just thought you should understand from my point of view that people are very very mean.

I have had serve joint pain in my legs for at least 5 years and have had many physio appointments. People always telling me that I will grow out of it or its just growing pains until recently my legs. knees. ankles. fingers and wrists have been swelling up.

I've been experiencing rheumatoid arthritis since the 7th grade and Im currently 18 now. I have pain in my hands,knees,ankles, feet everyday and night. I tried taking aspirin/ibuprofen and I still feel pain afterwards. I even went to the doctor and was told it was nothing but why would I lie about severe joint pains.

I'm 15 almost 16 and I am diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Literally the worst thing is having my knee swell up every so months, light limping, and skipping school for a day to get it drained.
Same experience I have been tested for arthritis at an age of 11, now I'm 16 still living with it but in alternative years the pain reduces but it comes back again Now my biggest dream is to walk and live like a normal humanbeing

@@Mdirrp all of a sudden I couldn't bend one of my knees and left as it is later one year couldn't bend both of my knees fully and swelling in knees and toes. Visited near by doc bt couldn't diagnose what caused the issue with my knees.. slowly both of my hand knees got hurt n started swelling. Suffered like a hell for almost 2yrs with wrong treatments. One of relative took to Apollo hospital, Chennai their took all tests collected new x-rays blood urine samples and found out to of Rheumatoid Arthritis and they had RA specialist doc for this particular treatment. Gave heavy doses steroids at initial stages to make the knees functional. Upon frequent regular check ups suggested physiotherapy that was compulsory to maintain and control the pain. Confirmed that it's not due to genetic things. Rare scenarios. Since then till date taking tabs on daily and weekly basis. Need to get operated on both of my hips coz since I'm aging it slowly got my hip joints affected recently. If not diagnosed earlier hip joints would have affected and thus affecting the entire body.
I’m 13 and have been having severe joint pain in my ankle and foot since I was about 10 we went to doctors and they all said it was ligament damage but we knew it had to be something worse today I was diagnosed with arthritis
I was 7 and diagnose at the age of 13 and people and family don't understand theu they don't understand plus dealing with depression and anxiety it really sucks because they say that they understand but they really don't it hurts a people say that I'm so lazy but I'm not I don't get out of bed because my joints hurt and I'm so sick and tired of taking pills everyday pills and pills and pills it drives me insane and it's mentally draining and it hurts so bad when people said that they understand but they don't they never understand it hurts I'm so sick and tired of its people understanding saying that they understand but they don't they don't understand I wake up tired I wake up in pain ice and I don't sleep and then cuz of thinking if I know I wake up with pain or not every morning it hurts and they don't understand it hurts so annoying as I was diagnosed with it might have felt like my life fell apart it really felt like my life fell apart if it destroyed me I fit when I heard I had the arthritis and killed my depression got worse after it anxiety got worse
I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in 2022. It started with foot pain in 2018 but it progressed to my whole body feeling terrible discomfort and aching through my whole body. My family doctor refused to refer me to a specialist because he said a specialist would say the same thing as him, which was him not knowing what the issue was. Dealing with my family doctor was terrible. It took multiple tests and a note from my physiotherapist to finally get him to see an orthopaedic surgeon. They did some scans and images. After those tests, they got me to do a blood test, which ended up figuring out I had inflammation. So the surgeon referred me to a rheumatologist. Now I’m feeling great because of the medication I’m on. Took 4 years to finally get diagnosed because of my family doctor but I’m glad I have a good rheumatologist
i am currently 15 years old, i have many symptoms of osteoarthritis in my knee. i haven't seen the doctor yet, i'm afraid my knee will be diagnosed with osteoarthritis 🥺 every night i want to cry realizing this reality, hopefully i'm not diagnosed with osteoarthritis and i'll be going to the doctor soon.

I was 10 when I damaged my knee playing football however when the weather gets cold I used to get a slight pain in my ankle and I went to the hospital cause it would last at least 2-3 hour's they told me that I'm just getting pain because my kneecap keeps moving out of place so my mom took me to someone who massages and put back body parts into place I don't know what they are called but however I still continued to get the pain but it would last even longer than before my cousin boyfriend told me I have arthritis but I always thought only older people does get that until I did some research on my own and only to realize I actually suffers with arthritis I took multiple of tests and x-ray's and they told me I have Osteoarthritis which is very common and my grandparents and mom also suffered with arthritis which also is in my genes now that I'm 16 I've been able to cope with the pain but I've missed school a lot and people used to spread rumours that I'm pregnant and other stuff you wouldn't even think would come out their mouth but I tried to stay strong until I had a mental breakdown and told my mom I'm dropping out of school and well I've been going to swimming classes, outdoor activities and I've join a group for people who suffers from arthritis and we go to the gym on certain days, we go for field trips and etc but don't ever let the thought of having arthritis bring you down just keep your head up and keep fighting
I just got diagnosed and my arthritis is not that bad yet. I am scared what will come because mine isn’t very bad yet. I making a decision to get a service dog to help me with basic need and give me emotional support.
If this is what’s I’ve had all my life I’m honestly wanting to cry because I’ve suffered for so long and no one bothered to look into this that’s what it was like in the nineties
I was diagnosed 20 years ago (2004) at 9 months old. The amount of people that don't understand is really disheartening. It's hard to be believed when you have a disease like this 😞

Hello Antun, sorry to hear you're in so much pain. If you ever need support or advice please do get in touch: versusarthritis.org/get-help. We're here to help, take care.
i expierencr a lot of aches in all parts of my body, and sometimes minor swelling in my hands and face and ankles but i don’t think i have arthritis.. what i go through doesn’t sound nearly as bad as what a lot of these people in the comments are talking about. i still hope i can figure out what’s wrong with me sometime, or that it’ll get better, but im only 17 and its really tiring to be in pain. being so young, people dismiss your pain so much
Im 16 had back pain and joint pain for at least 2 years back and forth from the doctors and they havent diagnosed me with anything but they said it could be arthiritis but they still gave no idea
It is RA at the beginning stage. You can find from blood test. suggest to use Canadian licensed product Arthron 5 to recover at the beginning stage. It is a alternative natural product.
It is easy can be diagnosed. The bak pain is not a good signal of RA. The back pain can be the worst RA. be care full to use the medicine, Steroid and bio medicine. Any synthetic medicine is unable to help at all. try to use natural product. Try to use Arthron 5 a Canadian natural product to help recover.
I’ve been fighting for a diagnosis for about 3 years now, I have all the physical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis but as soon as my rheumatoid factor came back normal I was dismissed 🥺 even though my inflammatory markers are all over the place, I’ve been passed on referrals by going on my 3rd rheumatologist:/

Arthritis is an invisible disability. Arthritis can't easily be seen. People like you are why people like us struggle with self-confidence and are never believed by society. Not all disabilities and not all pains are visible. You can't see internal joint damage 🤦♀️
People think it's easy to deal with, but they are not understanding. People who don't think you are going through something bad they just don't understand.
I am also face this problems and i live in tamilnadu ....this place and people are not a support me ...

It’s hard for all of those that have health conditions.
I’m 17 and recently my bones in my hands been hurting so bad , even my wrist and ankles hurt .

@@VersusArthritis wow you guys are so nice I have pain in my hands and foot but it’s not that really painful I’m going to try my best to be healthy
Thank you and well done!!
I was 10 when I damaged my knee playing football however when the weather gets cold I used to get a slight pain in my ankle and I went to the hospital cause it would last at least 2-3 hour's they told me that I'm just getting pain because my kneecap keeps moving out of place so my mom took me to someone who massages and put back body parts into place I don't know what they are called but however I still continued to get the pain but it would last even longer than before my cousin boyfriend told me I have arthritis but I always thought only older people does get that until I did some research on my own and only to realize I actually suffers with arthritis I took multiple of tests and x-ray's and they told me I have Osteoarthritis which is very common and my grandparents and mom also suffered with arthritis which also is in my genes now that I'm 16 I've been able to cope with the pain but I've missed school a lot and people used to spread rumours that I'm pregnant and other stuff you wouldn't even think would come out their mouth but I tried to stay strong until I had a mental breakdown and told my mom I'm dropping out of school and well I've been going to swimming classes, outdoor activities and I've join a group for people who suffers from arthritis and we go to the gym on certain days, we go for field trips and etc but don't ever let the thought of having arthritis bring you down just keep your head up and keep fighting
It's a difficult journey, stay strong
I just got diagnosed and my arthritis is not that bad yet. I am scared what will come because mine isn’t very bad yet. I making a decision to get a service dog to help me with basic need and give me emotional support.
i have arthritis since age 12. that too on the neck and shoulders
If this is what’s I’ve had all my life I’m honestly wanting to cry because I’ve suffered for so long and no one bothered to look into this that’s what it was like in the nineties
I was diagnosed 20 years ago (2004) at 9 months old. The amount of people that don't understand is really disheartening. It's hard to be believed when you have a disease like this 😞
You are right
I am 18..I am also suffering form joint pains..I know how much the pains heals😔😔,.now also I have pain and I am commenting 🥺

Hi...now how r u?
i expierencr a lot of aches in all parts of my body, and sometimes minor swelling in my hands and face and ankles but i don’t think i have arthritis.. what i go through doesn’t sound nearly as bad as what a lot of these people in the comments are talking about. i still hope i can figure out what’s wrong with me sometime, or that it’ll get better, but im only 17 and its really tiring to be in pain. being so young, people dismiss your pain so much
I can relate on how painful this disease is😢😭😭
Im 16 had back pain and joint pain for at least 2 years back and forth from the doctors and they havent diagnosed me with anything but they said it could be arthiritis but they still gave no idea
It can be due to anxiety and stress that your muscle are tight and needs to be massage if it’s not Arthis
It is RA at the beginning stage. You can find from blood test. suggest to use Canadian licensed product Arthron 5 to recover at the beginning stage. It is a alternative natural product.
@@niagarafallscondos7982
It can be osteoarthritis too and oa is more difficult to diagnose
It is easy can be diagnosed. The bak pain is not a good signal of RA. The back pain can be the worst RA. be care full to use the medicine, Steroid and bio medicine. Any synthetic medicine is unable to help at all. try to use natural product. Try to use Arthron 5 a Canadian natural product to help recover.
I’ve been fighting for a diagnosis for about 3 years now, I have all the physical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis but as soon as my rheumatoid factor came back normal I was dismissed 🥺 even though my inflammatory markers are all over the place, I’ve been passed on referrals by going on my 3rd rheumatologist:/

Crepitus (joint popping/cracking) is normal. If you are experiencing pain while they're popping or it happens very frequently, then it's a problem

Why do we have to suffer so much for no reason...
What arthritis? Person looks fine.
Arthritis is an invisible disability. Arthritis can't easily be seen. People like you are why people like us struggle with self-confidence and are never believed by society. Not all disabilities and not all pains are visible. You can't see internal joint damage 🤦♀️
I think we have to create a community to support each other
