Question
Do you have any idea how long it takes to develop tricompartmental osteoarthritis. Is it something that takes years to progress from unitricompartmental, or is something that can occur in a day? I appreciate your help in answering my question. I think it is really great that you are able to use your experiences to help other people. Thank You!

Answer
Dear Chrissy,   Osteoarthritis of any joint or compartment joint does NOT occur over night....  It takes a long time to develope.....

You did not say where your have the osteoarthritis but here is a good web site to explain osteoarthritis no matter what joint(s) may be effected....
