Hi. I'm just curious how some of you with arthritis were diagnosed, what led to it, how long it took. I would love to hear your stories.

I'm only 28. But I have ulcerative colitis (UC) and I know that many individuals with UC have some sort of issues with arthritis. Even before my UC diagnosis, I have had so much pain throughout my body so I suspect arthritis might be a possibility. My doctors don't seem to be taking me very seriously though. Making note of it but not really suggesting any way I can help myself or get to the bottom of whats causing the pain.
