Arthritis Back Pain

United States

My hubby is 36 and has been having a lot of back pain for about 5 months. He went to the doctor a few weeks ago and they did an x-ray. We went back today and found out that along with inflammation he also has arthritis in his lower back. This is young to have arthritis. He also has arthritis in his ankles, this is because he has broken them a few times and that has caused the arthritis. But now the arthritis in his back.... he just seems too young for that!

I was recently diagnosed with arthritis of the lower back. Now I finally understand why I have been in so much pain for the past four years. In my case, the problem was caused by severe scoliosis. I am 67. If your husband has developed arthritis at the age of 35, there has to be an underlying back problem behind it that has not been diagnosed yet.

while arthritis is more common in older folks, it does exist in even children I know its very painful, and I hope that since they are discovering it this early, that maybe they can help him prevent as much damage as it might've caused if it hadn't been caught.

I do have that also pain in the back, I got it when I was working lifting heavy stuff and pulling and pushing heavy stuff also. Up to now I'm suffering so much every night I got my back pain hurting can't sleep I have to take pain reliever advil or aspirin. There's no cure on it but just prevention such as exercise and don't lift,pull and push heavy stuff , but for me I'm still work with that process I wish I can come back to my old work in Cad I'm now doing labor because of recession I had to take any job just to put food on our table and bills to pay.
