What is likely to happen in the future?
Arthritis does not always get worse. It may reach a peak after a few years and stay there or only get a little worse. In others, it may progress as the years go by becoming very painful and disabling. One cannot predict the outcome in individual cases. However, when arthritis really gets worse then one may need to consider joint replacement surgery.
