I'm a near-24 male who, over the last 7 years, has seen the following happen:
(1) Foot pain (age 17)
(2) Knee pain (17-18, worsening around age 21)
(3) Elbow pain (20)
(4) Periodic inflammation in right middle finger (20)
(5) Inflammation in other areas of left and right hands (22)
(6) Back pain (22-23)
(7) Severe sitting discomfort (22-23)
(8) Right wrist pain and inflammation (23)
(9) Skin wrinkling (23)
(10) Significant decline in energy - more likely to nap, less likely to stay up late (gradual)
(11) Decline in health of genitalia - difficult to describe briefly (last 8 months)
(12) Neck pain (last month)
It's confirmed I have arthritis, which probably explains 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 (and maybe 12).
I don't think it's normal for someone aged 23 to occasionally be barely able to walk, to take naps on the majority of days, or to undergo significant changes in their sexual organs. I've gone to medical professionals on many of the above items, but none have been addressed or explained.
I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether these problems are unusual for a person my age, whether they could all be connected, and how I should go about trying to fix them. Thanks for any comments.
