What is the likelihood of me getting arthritis if my mum has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High: The chances of arthritis are so great that you would probably get it even if your mom didn't have it. The best thing you can do is keep your weight down, avoid excessive wear and tear and keep your muscles strong and limber.
