I'm a teen with arthritis and a stress fracture. will i suffer from this my whole life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to say.: Arthritis can be permanent depending on the type u have it can be cured, slowed down or at least be less symptomatic. Surgery can cure it depending on where and extent. A stress fracture rarely lasts for ever.
