You can try...: Joint pain in 20yr olds is unusual so a work up for rheumatologic conditions is indicated.If this has already been done and is ' negative' and the joints affected are " weight bearing"( hip, knee, ankle, lower back) and you are overweight than weight loss can be very helpful.If not i would consider seeing a board certified orthopedic surgeon.Most will give u the 'straight scoop' ... Good luck!
