I am suffering from spinal arthritis at the age of 24. I used to lead an extremely active lifestyle, including hiking, running, walking, playing football, basketball, rugby, and golf. Recently, my back has become so stiff, sore, and painful that it's hard for me to do normal activities. My feet, knees, hips, and back are also sore. What can I do to get my life back?
Why does my hip always hurt at a young age?
When I was in high school, I snapped my tibia clean, and they put a metal rod in the bone from my knee to my ankle. That was 15 years ago. For the last couple of years, any time I do something high-impact, I experience really bad pain at the site of the injury, sometimes resulting in bruising or a limp for a few days. I'm curious if you might know why this happens and what things I can do to help alleviate the pain so I can at least run again.
