Joy Edwards's Story
After many years of my asking why this happened to me at such a young age, my rheumatologist told me it was due to extreme hypermobility in all the joints in my body. Now that I found my diagnosis, I dream of having my own support group for people living with osteoarthritis where we offer a support network especially through first diagnosis and joint replacement surgery because I feel as if no one understands what osteoarthritis is – especially in young people.
