Super important to investigate all medical diagnoses and treatments yourself. I was diagnosed with stage four hip osteoarthritis at age 36 due to some ongoing pain in my hip I had while playing golf.
The Harvard educated doctor treated me brusquely when I tried asking more questions. He told me to immediately get a hip replacement.
I did a bunch of research and decided to try lifestyle changes first. I quit playing golf and running. I took up cycling and taking anti inflammatory supplements (no drugs). In a couple of months, the pain was mostly gone. Now I have no pain at all and do a large variety of farming manual labor work and am roofing my own house.
Doctors see you as a paycheck. Always do your own research into diagnoses and alternative treatments.
