In most cases degenerative arthritis occurs when overusing weak cartilage for too long, by forcing the joints with obesity or extreme sports, and if there was a problem with the joints since childhood which lingered on for too long. It is often mistaken that this illness is natural to happen when getting old, but it could surprise you by turning out at an early age.
