How Can Severe Arthritis Be Treated?

I had a fusion done when I was 15 which required a piece of my pelvic bone to be placed into my lower lumbered. I was told it was to help prevent me from going hunch back when I got older. But why was I born with my bone sticking but not through the skin and still have to this very day and I m 39 now with narrowing of the nerves and sever arthritis. But I can t remember the name so I can learn more about it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think you may born with Spina bifida occulta or meningocele may cause nerves may compressed. Arthritis may be age related or infections or hypothyroidism etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid weight bearing ,use pain killer medication. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
