30 Years old but my Back is 60?
Hello! I was just diagnosed as being hypermobile and having fibromyalgia by a rheumatologist.
I went back to see her after getting full body X-rays and blood work done. The lab messed up on the blood work so we could not do anything with that, but she was concerned about my back.
She showed me the X-rays and said everything else looked good, but my mid and lower back look like a 60 year old's. I am 33f.
I often throw out my back and have had to use a cane a few times over the last couple of years. The first time this happened I was in high school riding a bike.
She said it looks like I have been injuring my mid and lower spine repeatedly and they have begun growing extra bone, closing over the discs. She thinks it might be because of my hypermobility but we cannot be 100% until the blood results come in.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? If so, what do I do? What can I do?
