I developed osteoarthritis in my knees at 16 (as well as lower back pain), and I got serious about fixing it with physical therapy when I was 29. I'm happy to report that arthritis no longer bothers me! Usually I'm in no pain, and I know when my knees hurt a little, I just need to buy new sneakers. This might explain why I was so happy.
Arthritis pain really is different from other types of pain, according to a small study reported last year. That’s because the pain caused by arthritis is processed in the parts of the brain that also control emotions, including fear and distress.
So seriously try what your physical therapist says! Worked wonders for me!
