Hello there We understand your feel and your pain. But then it seems that your condition is already diagnosed. It is pretty sad that you are facing this at such young age. Arthritis is nothing but the erosion of bone by the reduction of space between them. When both bones touch each other there would be pain. We cannot remove it because it is associated with bone itself. Instead we can try medications and physiotherapy of it is possible. If not it need surgery. Consult your orthopedic doctor today. Thank you
