How long does it take for arthritis to show up on xrays?

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.

However I Have many other parts that still seem to be working fine.
