DJD: If your doctor did not do any lab work and told you that you have arthritis he or she probably means osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease or "wear and tear" arthritis. This commonly occurs in conjunction with bunions and in the midfoot.

Osteoarthritis : Osteoarthritis (oa) also known as degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis, is a group of mechanical abnormalities involving degradation of joints, including articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Problems that may happen include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, locking, and sometimes an effusion. This is the usually culprit for your 1st mpj pain.
