Hi everyone need some advice here. About 7 years ago I out of nowhere got osteoarthritis in my sternoclavicular joint. I was 24, and it came on suddenly, and it took over a year for me to realise it wasn’t shoulder pain and to get a ct scab confirming it. I ended up managing it with high strength curcumin supplements, daily yoga, and glucosamine. It became almost non existent!

In the last few years I have been training at the gym to improve my strength. And all of a sudden, in the same shoulder I am feeling the arthritis again, but this time is appears to be in my AC joint. I know I need to see a specialist but I can’t afford it at the moment. Do we know what could cause this arthritis to spread? I’m really hoping it doesn’t get out of control again. Thanks
