It all depends on how serious the problem turns out to be. as the cartilage wears the bones of the joints come closer together or in time spurs may form which are a build up of bone where bone is wearing onto bone. that which shows up on xrays is the result of the damage done by Arthritis. For example I have Rheumatoid arthritis and it took about 3 years from the time that I did not have a problem with my right elbow to the time I had to have it totally replaced. However I Have many other parts that still seem to be working fine.
It all depends on your age, how long you have had trouble with it and the results of blood tests that help determine what is happening. However Rheumatologist do use xrays to determine the progress and the damage being caused by the disease.

You should consult with your GP/Doctor.
Probably, but check to make sure that the sunus medication and arthritis med don't both contain the same analgesic for pain.

They dont, nurses dont take xrays! Radiologic technologist take xrays!
usually the doctor's will take a few xrays before deciding on anything. If the xrays show nothing than no, they will probably tell you to ice than heat and keep repeating it until the uncomfortable feeling goes away. But if the xrays show concerning results they will most likely send you to a orthopedic (bone doctor). Hope this helps!
