I'm 20 years old, I've been suffering from this since I was 17. And here's what I want to tell you: my disease is not as terrible as the treatment. I take methotrixate every week and it's misery. Side effects like chemotherapy.
@@Faustina-g5q I have rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative. But my symptoms were non-specific, you shouldn't rely on them. The joints of my knees began to hurt, then the joints of my shoulders, and after some time the joints of my hands. I was diagnosed after I had an ultrasound and donated 4 cones of blood (for HIV, for rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein, and so on).
The idea that osteoarthritis is caused by simple mechanical "wear and tear" is outdated. The current theory is that it is caused by a degradation of the joint due to a combination of non-mechanical factors such as inflammation and metabolism. See for example Abramoff & Caldera (2020) for more information about this.

May you specify if it's RA or OA? I'm 20 and I'm planning on visiting the doctor next week. Also, may I ask what your early symptoms looked like?
