Not really : The term arthritis refers to a number of conditions in which the cartilage in a joint is either being worn down or damaged. Arthritis can only occur in a joint between two bones. The skull is a single, solid bone. There are no mobile joints in the skull itself, only at the joints where the spine meets the skulland where the jaw meets the skull. Be evaluated if you are having pain in that area.
