See below: You can osteoarthritis if there has been trauma, if you are overweight, or if you have had multiple vaginal deliveries. If you have involvement of the si joint this can be seen with osteoarthritis and seronegative spondyloarthritis. Talk to your treating doctor about what type arthritis you have as therapy varies according to what you have.
