For years, I struggled with painful joints, ganglions, and tendonitis. In my twenties, I assumed this was just bad luck—perhaps I was pushing myself too hard or had inherited a predisposition to joint issues. The discomfort wasn’t just a minor inconvenience; it affected my ability to exercise, type for long periods, and even do simple everyday movements. Traditional medicine pointed towards inflammation, possibly early arthritis, but nothing seemed to explain why my body was reacting this way.
