Absolutely: It would seem unusual to have a 29 yo with severe osteoarthritis and so you definitely could have more of an inflammatory arthritis, many of which fall in the category of autoimmune disorders. A more detailed history, exam, and appropriate test can usually establish the diagnosis. Thank you for you question.
