I'm concerned since I'm only 18

Or well, I used to have it. After not bring chronically online for half a year, all my problems disappeared and new ones came in

Are backs joints?
-
They are like a bunch of small joints stacked on top of each other. Then we you get old you get degenerative disc disease and those joints have a hard time moving.

My wrist has been slightly messed up since I slammed it on some coping at the skatepark a few years ago

Try moving around or something.

I'm sorry, but this just isn't good advice especially if this post is referring to arthritis, ME/CFS or other autoimmune conditions which is where most moderate to severe joint pain stems from. Arthritis is a debilitating autoimmune condition that requires consistent medical treatment to address the underlying autoimmune issues that causes it. Alongside that, moving and forcing yourself to be active with persistent joint pain will only worsen the overall damage and inflammation that autoimmune conditions cause towards joints.

Bruh, joint pain means you're out of weed.
That’s actually a terrible idea, as it doesn’t treat the underlying cause. There’s a reason it’s not the first line treatment for pain.
Edit: yes I get the double entrendre pun.
Joke went so far over your head you didn't have a chance at catching it
Other pain management doesn't treat the underlying cause either and the reason for cannabis to not be the first line treatment is much more often legal/political than medical.
It's been proven in clinical trials to be one of the most effective types of pain management and much less addictive and otherwise harmful than opiates, but that doesn't seem to do anything about the preconceived notions of regressive people including most politicians.
You like totally missed the joke, but that's okay.
Tell me you’ve either never smoked or recently quit without telling me.
