Hard to say: It is hard to say without having been involved in the conversation. Sometimes doctors will use different terms to describe arthritic changes in a joint so both doctors might have agreed but expressed themselves differently. On the other hand, they might have honestly felt differently about whether or not you have arthritis. Thank you for your question.

Let me explain: Do you pain in the knee? Dose the knee get swollen, it is more with activity or not? Did you have an MRI done on the knee? If the answer to these questions is yes ? You will be able to know if you arthritis.
