Hello and welcome to e health forum.
At the age of 30 years, the onset of degenerative arthritis is very rare.
Osteoarthritis (OA) also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease, is a group of mechanical abnormalities involving degradation of joints, including articular cartilage and subchondral bone.
Symptoms may include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, locking, and sometimes an effusion.
A variety of causes â hereditary, developmental, metabolic, and mechanical â may initiate processes leading to loss of cartilage.
You might consult with your doctor after the X rays are obtained, which will help to make the proper diagnosis.
I hope this helps.
