What is wrong with me?!?!!!!??

Question

I'm 14 and it feels like I'm 40 (Physically not mentally).

I have really bad knees and sometimes they'll just give out on me and pop out of place, then i'll be limping for a week or so.

I also have back problems because my b***s are large and i have scoliosis. It makes me really sad because i take VERY good care of myself. I take a lot of vitamins, eat extremely healthy, and exercise! If I feel like this now, what will i feel like in 20 years or so?? :O

What is wrong with me??? :(

Answer 1

Ask the docter.

Maybe try swimming for you knee problems?

Answer 2

Oh my heart goes out to you! You remind me of myself at 14!

I too have awful knees & ankles. My knees give out all the time and my ankles do too. I can't tell you how often I sprain or twist my ankle. I'm hurt now due to a badly sprained ankle and twisted knee. Using one crutch to hobble around. I hate it.

Have your parents taken you to the dr about your knees? I did for awhile and my parents just quit. I was labeled "accident prone" so anytime I was hurt eyes would roll. My mom said "It is always something with Ashley." (sigh) Makes you feel great hu?

First thing is to get things checked out. Scoliosis can be treated. Knees can too. My cousins also have bad knees (they run in the family) & they both have had operations on theirs yet still struggle). You may need to wear slip on knee braces looks like an ACE bandage yet slips on. I have a few of those. lol

After the dr's check things out . . . some may see nothing BIG wrong. That's how I am. I was SHOCKED when an MRI showed my knees as normal! They don't deal with the pain during cold or rainy times. (shurg)

But after the Dr's ok things or fix things you just learn to live with it. I laugh at myself sometimes.

Plus remember what i tell myself "What doesn't kill me will make me stronger" & it does believe me! I can take pain and stuff like that better than most!

Where will you be in 20yrs? I pray not like me! lol I'm 33 & here is a list of my issues:

1. IC (A painful bladder disorder)

2. IBS (irritable bowel disorder from the IC)

3. Chronic allergies and sinus issues (from the IC)

4. Bad knees & ankles (linked to IC we think)

5. History of depression, panic disorder, PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder - due to childhood sexual abuse, date rapes & stuff)

6. Migraines (linked to IC)

7. bad immune system (linked to IC)

8. tons of allergies to antibiotics & meds (due to taking so many meds)

9. fibromyalgia - linked to IC not told yet I have it, but looks like I most likely do.

most likely more I'm forgetting

Yet is my life awful? No . . . I'm blessed with a dear husband (still wonder why he wants me after 14yrs since I'm so messed up) & 3 children. I homeschool my kids too.

Remember this - THINGS COULD BE WORSE!

You could have a horrible illness where you can't get out of bed. You could be DYING of cancer. You could have broke your neck and can't move your arms or legs.

So many people are worse off. SO remember this.

God created you for a reason. Maybe I feel I suffer so much to tell a 14yr old who feels 40 that is ok. I was teased and called DUCKY in school due to my bad knee. I hated it and hated myself. I still do at times but I move on.

Your life has a reason no matter how much you struggle with your health. Do what you can and remember things could be worse.

Hugs.

Answer 3

I think you need to go the doctor about your knee's, you could have something wrong with the bone. As for your b*****s I would recommend a breast reduction.. I think you can get it free as more of a medical procedure than a plastic surgery if it's hurting your back. Keep on taking care of yourself, drink lots of water, and have fun. good luck xx

Answer 4

well, bad backs run in my family.

And my job is very bad on my knees and back so i'm always achy and after a long day of work someone will want to hang out and i'll be like "no, i want to go sleep" and then i'll regret it and feel so old.

i understand what your going through..just take it one day at a time and don't worry about it. Keep taking your vitamins and all that jazz!  

Answer 5

Sounds like arthritis, scoliosis. Don't understand where you are confused?

Answer 6

I think you should go to the doctor about your knees.

They are probably weak, so he may give you a brace. I dislocated my left knee and that is what I needed to get.

As for your back, I think the fact that you have scoliosis is why your back hurts. If it is causing you alot of pain, I would talk to my doctor about that too.

And I really applaud you for taking such good care of yourself. Not everyone does like they  should!

Answer 7

Well I'm actually not sure ....

That is a bit weird ,

I have felt that way about myself too ,

and so had my boyfriend .

We were both told that we will have that till I am 16 and he'll have his until he's 18 .

Talk to your doctor about it .  

Answer 8

Talk to your doctor he/she can tell you.

Answer 9

Hmm, maybe you could get a breast reduction because it's hurting your back?

Also, get you knees checked by a doc. You may be doing something damaging during your exercises.

When I was your age, I had many aches and pains. I gave up going to docs for many years. I was tired of being told I was a hypochondriac. I recently went and was told I have fibromyalgia. I am on a new med and feeling good.

Good luck.
