Could this be arthritis?

[year5teacher]

So I’m in my mid twenties. I definitely don’t have RA as I’ve had blood tests.
I have chronic pain in my hip which spreads to my knee and sometimes ankle. I have a stabbing pain in my groin (both sides) when I get up from sitting which causes me to stagger. I have had x rays on my knees which showed nothing. This has gone on for years so surely osteoarthritis would be unlikely but I’ve been fobbed off my GPs so many times that I don’t know what to think anymore.

MNers with arthritis - is this consistent with your symptoms?

Hi, I'm in my early 20s with osteoarthritis, the 'stabbing pain' you describe isn't what I experience, mine is more of a 'grinding and catching sensation but I do also have a burning/stabbing neuropathic pain too. I'd go to the GP and hopefully they can get to the bottom of it.
