Y'all aren't any more special than the rest of us. You can experience joint issues and pain at any age. Stop gatekeeping pain. It isn't a generation thing, or an inherent age thing. Gatekeeping pain is just weird and makes you sound ignorant 🤷♀️

But that has to do with their ages, not mobility aid use. They were too old before they needed aids 🤣

What does it matter if they use mobility aids or not? Those don't have an age requirement. I don't like any of those people either, but it has nothing to do with mobility aid use. FDR used a wheelchair. It's their policies that are the actual issue, not their ages or mobility aid use

It can run in families. Not everyone has a family history of arthritis though. OA has a genetic component to it, but so do autoimmune types. For example, I have family members with gout, RA, AS, JIA, and undiagnosed autoimmune arthritis. I hit the genetic jackpot and got juvenile arthritis ✌🏼

Same, but I'm 22. The arthritis started in infancy though 🤷♀️

Just because it lasts doesn't mean it doesn't impact her.
As for Gale, he doesn't have to need a cane in order to be disabled. I have had chronic knee problems my whole life, but didn't use a cane until I was 20. It doesn't have to be visible to be a disability. It's still magic related technically

"Gale has chronic knee pain and fatigue due to the Netherese orb embedded in his chest.
Karlach's infernal engine, which is essentially a heart made of infernal iron, is slowly destroying her, causing constant pain and a need for constant maintenance." So yes! And you're welcome 😁

Yes. Things like magical injuries that can't be healed, for example

This is a character who isn't athlete-level active. They're a prince. They have very few, if any, action scenes after this disability occurs. They use a cane full time for the remainder of the series after sustaining this injury/disability. (4/4)

I don't want an injury that'll lead to the character being able to do more than they should be able to. That said, I also don't want an injury that's so minor the level of disability wouldn't make sense. It has to affect their ability to walk. (3/4

I'm doing research for a novel and I'm trying to work out specifics. Surgery doesn't exist; it's a fantasy world. There are a lot of swords and weapons that commonly occur in fantasy novels. I'm considering an ACL tear, but I want to go through many options that would be realistic & possible. (2/4)

Trust me, if you don't have brain fog from your arthritis, you don't want it 💀

It's definitely rough 💀 I hope it doesn't affect too many of your joints. I personally have it in all of mine

Shoot, I'm only 21 and use a cane because of balance issues and chronic pain. It's none of her business who uses one 🙄

Gout is considered a disease, actually, just not a contagious one. Gout is considered a rheumatic disease, just like other forms of arthritis

What type? Osteo or some autoimmune version? I'm not 28, but I am 21, and I've been familiar with ankle arthritis (autoimmune variety) for the last 21, almost 22 years

Arthritis IS considered a disease. You can't "contract" arthritis, so that's inaccurate. But arthritis is a disease
