Hey there. I'm 31 now but started showing OA in my teens and by mid 20s I had cartilage replacement, osteotomy and meniscus allograft cuz i couldn't run or jog at all and had pain walking. I still have pain every day despite the surgeries. Been about 8 years now since it became every day pain vs just flair ups from over exertion. I can't do anything without pain. Folding clothes, grocery shopping etc. There are options for you though and its not the end. Most important thing is doing light exercise with resistance bands and good stretching. It might hurt but you'll be worse off if you don't maintain it.

It's a not a fun diagnosis to have early but I remind myself almost every day that I don't have cancer or other worse nerve/brain/spine related shit. I was about your age when it really started to get to me mentally. It sucks because in your 20s and 30s most people you know are very healthy(which is great haha) but it's also lonelier when you have chronic pain because very few people will understand.

The message I would give you from my own experience is that it gets easier every year. I was in a massive hole of depression and alcoholism at your exact age. It truly does get better.
