> EE osteoarthristis can begin at any age. Most it seems have it after 40. But knowing you doubt he is this old. Was he an athlete? If so could be. I didn't think a higher dose either til moved here 7 years now and this pdoc here wanted me in 4 weeks total to titrate to 120mg. I said I don't think it's approved in doses this high. He said that works best for him. Needless to say I left this doc. Heard that shortly after he was diagnosed with narocolepsy. He actually fell asleep on an ex-neighbor of mine. So the dose can be raised. I know that my pain is osteoarthritis but when on 60mg of cymbalta no pain and only when came off it did I realize I had back Pain. Not fibromyalgia? If so lyrica is added a lot.
He saw a few docs and they say it isn't arthritis. He had some fractures in his knees last year due to low bone density. He's 39 so this was puzzling, but his Vit D was really low, so they treated that. They also found evidence that he previously had Parvovirus (?!) but they couldn't tell him when or if that had any relevance. No one has ever called it fibromyalgia, but I wondered about that too. He's done a little PT but that didn't seem to do much. As I said in the above post, I do think some of his mental distress is expressed physically.
I'm feeling good now, so I want him to feel good too!
Best,
EE
