Does Osteoarthritis develop over time or are you born with it?
Stupidlittlegenius
Osteoarthritis is a "degenerative" condition. It comes from use or misuse of the joint. It can also be post traumatic. The type of Arthritis you are born with is JRA or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; although it still affects the joints, it is a very different type of disease.
The fact is that there does seem to be a genetic factor involved in degenerative or Osteoarthritis. Often people from the same family develop the symptoms of OA because they were born with the genes that predisposed them to it. while others that are not can put their joints through the same punishment without ill effect.

Antiinflammatories and rest will help somewhat with the pain, but the actual damage will not heal itself. Over time scar tissue should form which may stabilise the meniscus and the joint somewhat, but osteoarthritis will still develop. Normal treatments for osteoarthritis will then be needed.
