I am 59 and am having back and neck problems caused by Degenerative Disc
Disease. I have lost cartilage in the knees (have had both knees replaced)
and now in the wrists, causing pain and bone spurs as bone rubs on bone.  I
have been diagnosed for 2 years, but the diagnosis took a long time-probably
had CD for years.  I am wondering if this long span of time without diagnosis
has caused damage and contributed to these two conditions.  Does anyone else
have a similar situation? Madelyn VA
