Hi @Rose56  

Welcome to the versus arthritis forum. 

I see that you’ve only recently been diagnosed with OA and are in the process of discovering as much information as possible. You’d also like to know the speed at which the condition can deteriorate. 

Well you’ve definitely come to the right place to give you some answers and to help you through managing your OA. 

Our website has a wealth of information for you to digest, here are a couple of links that should be useful:

On Living with arthritis we have posts from many members who live with arthritis, I'm sure you will be able to find some existing discussions you may wish to join in on or, if not, start a new one.
